[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
[Interlude]

[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
[Interlude]

[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
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
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
