Mariah Carey - Fourth of July Chords
Em9
[Intro]
F#m7
Trembling
Gadd9
Starry eyed
Dmaj7 F#7#9
As you put your hand in mine
[Verse 1]
Dmaj9
It was twilight
C#7#5#9
On the Fourth of July
F#m11 Em7b5
Sparkling colors were strewn across the sky
E9b6 Dmaj9
And we sat close enough
C#7#5#9
That we just barely touched
F#m11 Em7b5 E9b6
While roman candles went soaring above us and baby
[Chorus 1]
Bm7
Then you put your hand in mine
E9 E7b9 Amaj9 E/F# F#7#9
And we wandered away
Bm7
I was trembling inside
E9 E7b9 Amaj9 E/F F#7#9
But I wanted to stay (Stay)
Bm7
Pressed against you there and leave the world behind
E9 E7b9 Amaj9 E/F# F#7#9
On that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
[Verse 2]
Dmaj9
So starry eyed (So starry eyed)
C#7#5#9
On the flowery hillside
F#m11 Em7b5
Breathless and fervid
Em7b5 E9b6
Amid the dandelions
Dmaj9
As it swept over me (Swept over me)
C#7#5#9
Like the wind through the trees
F#m11 Em7b5 E9b6
I felt you sigh with a sweet intensity and baby
[Chorus 2]
Bm7
Then you put your hand in mine (Hand in mine)
E9 E7b9 Amaj9 E/F# F#7#9
And we floated away
Bm7
Delicately lay entwined
E9 E7b9 Amaj9 E/F# F#7#9
In an intimate daze (Daze)
Bm7
A crescent moon began to shine (Began to shine)
E9 E7b9 Amaj9 E/F# F#m F#7#9
And I wanted to stay (Stay)
Bm7
Tangled up with you among the fireflies
E9 E7b9 Amaj9 E/F# F#7#9
On that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
[Bridge]
E11
Thunder clouds (Thunder clouds)
A6
Hung around (Hung around)
Dmaj7
So threateningly (So threateningly)
Bm7
Ominously hovering
E11
And the sky (And the sky)
Bm7/A A6
Opened wide
Dmaj7 F#/D
Shower-ing
Dmaj7
Oh, yeah, yeah
[Chorus 3]
Bm7
Then you put your hand in mine (Put your hand in mine)
E9 E7b9 Amaj9 E/F# F#7#9
And we ran from the rain
Bm7
Tentatively kissed goodnight
E9 E7b9 Amaj9 E/F# F#7#9
And went our separate ways
Bm7
And I've never truly felt the way that I
E9 E7b9 Amaj9 E/F# F#7#9
Felt that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
[Outro]
Bm7
Truly I have never felt the same inside
E9 E7b9 Amaj9 E/F# F#7#9
Like that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
Bm7
Truly I could never feel the same as I
E9 E7b9 Amaj9 E/F# F#7#9
Felt that Fourth of July (Fourth of July)
