[Intro]
C Em/B F G C
[Verse 1]
C
Once in a while
Em/B
In a big blue moon
F
There comes a night like this
G
Like some surrealist
C
Invented this 4th of July
Night ride home
[Verse 2]
C
Hula girls
Em/B F
And caterpillar tractors in the sand
G
The ukulele man
The fireworks
C
This 4th of July
Night ride home
[Chorus]
F
I love the man beside me
G C
We love the open road
F
No phones 'til Friday
G
Far from the overkill
Far from the overload
[Verse 3]
C
Back at the bar
Em/B
The band tears down
F
But out here in the headlight beams
G
The silver powerlines
Gleam
C
On this 4th of July
Night ride home
[Verse 4]
C
Round the curve
Em/B
And a big dark horse
F
Red taillights on his hide
G
Is keeping right alongside
Rev for stride
C
4th of July
Night ride home
[Chorus]
[Outro]
C
Once in awhile
Em/B
In a big blue moon
F
There comes a night like this
G
Like some surrealist
C
Invented this 4th of July
Night ride home
