lyrics

July
Capo 1
Intro: B7 Em x3 D#7 D7
B7 Em
I don’t think that I’m that kind of guy
B7 Em
To work a job I hate, just getting by
B7 Em
To fuel the madness, never asking why
B7 B7 Em
To burn up in the fiery heat of July

D7
It’s 101
A7
In the noon day sun
D7 A7
How you feeling everyone?
D7 A7
June is gone July’s begun
D7
Here in the summer
A7
We’ll have some fun
D#7 D7

B7 Em
It’s 107 an hour after noon
B7 Em
You can feel there is a showdown coming soon
B7 Em
The buzzards hover over Lake Dragoon
B7 B7 Em
The hyenas, they are laughing, at the moon

D7
It’s 103
A7
Near 6, you see
D7 A7
This heat has been affecting me
D7 A7
I can hardly remember my ABC’s
D7 A7
My 3-4-5’s or 1-2-3’s
D7
If you can’t stand the kitchen,
A7
If you hate the heat
D7 A7
You can fry an egg on the side of the street
D7 A7
You better just love the sun, so sweet
D7 A7
My sunburn’s almost melting me
D#7 D7

B7 Em
I sit in the oppression of the sun
B7 Em
My head in my hands, undressing what I’ve done
B7 Em
Insult that light and then you cock the gun
B7 Em
Everything’s affecting everyone


A7
July
D7
Don’t deny
B7
You are the sky
E7
The reason why
G7
Your life

A7
July
D7
Don’t deny
B7
You are the sky
E7
The reason why
G7
Your life

A7
July
D7
Don’t deny
B7
You are the sky
E7
The reason why
G7
Your life

A7
July
D7
Don’t deny
B7
You are the sky
E7
The reason why
G7
Your life
