[Verse 1]
A                          E           A
Went down to Mexico on the Fourth of July
A                               E       A
I got a tattoo of a moth and a butterfly
              D                                A
Had too much time to burn, a little money to spend
A                              E          A
So I bought a switchblade for each of my friends
A                                E         A
Pablo and Dan had a plan said we gonna get rich
A                                         E         A
Put the double-cross on a double-crossin' narco snitch
                    D                                 A
Just a dirty little two man job, but it's a sure-fire win
A                                     E       A
Brother when we cut him down we gonna cut you in

[Chorus]
              D                                    A
Yeah dumb and drunk as I was ya know I'd do it all again
A                                    E           A
Back when I bought a switchblade for each of my friends
          D                             A           E
They were sharp enough to stab another hole in the sky
D                                 A       E
Hard enough to make the proudest diamond sigh
D                              A            E
Faster than the rockets on the Fourth of July
           F#m                   D          E    A
Strong and cruel enough to make a statue of Mary cry

[Verse 2]
A                                         E         A
They said amigo don't you worry now we're gonna dissappear
A                                             E        A
Just a couple of months, they said, it's been almost a year
                     D                                        A
And know that if you want that kinda money man you gotta stay brave
A                                   E        A
Federales are pullin' bodies out of shallow graves

[Chorus]
              D                                    A
Yeah dumb and drunk as I was ya know I'd do it all again
A                                    E           A
Back when I bought a switchblade for each of my friends
          D                             A           E
They were sharp enough to stab another hole in the sky
D                                 A       E
Hard enough to make the proudest diamond sigh
D                              A            E
Faster than the rockets on the Fourth of July
           F#m                   D          E    A
Strong and cruel enough to make a statue of Mary cry

[Verse 3]
A                                            E       A
Later in the fall I got the call, "Boy won't ya come down?
A                                   E        A
Maybe put a name with a few unlucky faces we found"
                  D                           A
Now no matter what I do can't get my heart to mend
A                                 E           A
Somebody buried a switchblade in each of my friends

[Chorus]
              D                                    A
Yeah dumb and drunk as I was ya know I'd do it all again
A                                    E           A

D                                 A       E
Hard enough to make the proudest diamond sigh
D                              A            E
Faster than the rockets on the Fourth of July
           F#m                   D          E    A
Strong and cruel enough to make a statue of Mary cry
          D                             A           E
They were sharp enough to stab another hole in the sky
D                                 A       E
Hard enough to make the proudest diamond sigh
D                              A            E
Faster than the rockets on the Fourth of July
           F#m                   D          E    A
Strong and cruel enough to make a statue of Mary cry
