[Verse 1]
G                C2    D
 My mum woke my dad up
G                             C2   D
 And said « it’s time to leave »
Am        G/B           C2         D
  So they jumped in the old Caprice
   Em        D        Am
And tore off into the night
C2        D       G
  On the 4th of July

                      C2      D
They flew through the darkness
G                 C2   D
 Drivin’ like Jehu
Am         G/B            C2     D
  And they rolled intoo Ottumwa
Em           D            Am
  Before the sun began to rise
C2        D       G
  On the 4th of July

                     C2     D
And in walks Bob and Janice
G                    C2  D
  Rachel's on her way
Am        G/B            C2    D
  To peek in through the window
Em        D             Am
Hoping to hear her grandson cry
C2        D       C2  G  D  Am    C2  G  D  Am   C6  D
  On the 4th of July


[Verse 2]
G                      C2       D
 My mother watched the fireworks
G                   C2   D
 From her hospital bed
Am          G/B        C2   D
  And after it was all over
Em            D           Am
  She held me for the first time
C2        D       G
  On the 5th of July

                  C2        D
I got my mother’s brown eyes
G                      C2   D
 And my dad’s quiet way
Am            G/B               C2    D
  And grandma Rachel’s love for music
Em    D           Am
  The morning I arrived
C2        D       G
  On the 5th of July

             C2     D
Deep in Iowa country
   G                   C2  D
And a heavenly hideaway
Am       G/B            C2     D
  On the shores of Lake Rathbun
Em     D            Am
  My folks brought me home
C2        D       C2  G
  On the 5th of July


[Bridge]
D
That was when (that was when)
Am
Life began (life began)
      C2   G
For me
D
That was when (that was when)
Am
Life began (life began)
     C6  D   G
For me


[Verse 3]
                    C2    D
A teacher and a mechanic
G                      C2   D
 Brought me into this world
Am     G/B           C2
  They loved me with all their hearts since
Em          G/B          Am
  The day I opened my eyes
G/B - C2          D     C2   G
        On the 5th of July


[Outro]
D
That was when (that was when)
Am
Life began (life began)
      C2   G
For me
D
That was when (that was when)
Am
Life began (life began)
      C6  D    C2  G   D   Am    C2   G   D
For me
