[A] [G] [A]
Firecracker, you waved in the night,
[G] [D] [E]
Something that I saw was a flaming,
[A] [G] [A]
Your body, it was real in the light,
[G] [D] [E]
On the fourth of july, we were screaming
[F#m] [D]
Well I saw the lonley road,
[A]
You left and said to me, don't follow,
[E]
Cause I'll only bring you sorrow.
[F#m] [D]
And head on down my lonley road,
You left and I just said
[riff one]
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
[A] [G] [A]
Well I'm back in, my old town again
[G] [D] [E]
Is there something still alive that I left here?
[A] [G] [A]
Do you still like, the boys on the street?
[G] [D] [E]
I will take you uptown, just to see you meet them.
Chorus
[No chord here, I just thump my guitar with my palm]
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/steel_train/firecracker_crd.html ]
I said I've, been reading the bible for a change,
Maybe there's something I have miswsed there,
Well I seen, well I seen some eyes in the rain,
they creep out my mind,
And I saw you whisper,
[A] [G] [A]
Firecracker, you waved in the night,
[G] [D] [E]
Something that I saw was a flaming,
[A] [G] [A]
Do you feel like, we left something here,
[G] [D] [E]
Something worth coming back and cleaning?
[F#m] [D]
Well I saw the lonley road,
[A]
You left and said to me, don't follow,
[E]
Cause I'll only bring you sorrow.
[F#m] [D]
And head on down my lonley road,
[A]
You left and said, you said to me, Don't follow,
[E]
cause we'll sleep and drink for tomorrow,
[F#m] [D]
And in the dead of night,
[A]
You left and said to me, don't follow,
[E]
Cause I'll only bring you sorrow.
[F#m] [D]
And head on down my lonley road,
You left and I just said
[riff one]
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
