Song: "Cold Day In July"  by the Dixie Chicks
Submitted By: Greg Wells; Ontario, Canada
 
Intro: G D Em G C G D
 
G           D   Em               G
The moon is full and my arms are empty
C         G         D
All night long I've pleaded and cried
G          D        Em            G   
You always said the day you would leave me,
C          G        D    G
Would be a cold day in July
 
G             D      Em             G
Your bags are packed, not a word is spoken
C          G         D     
I guess we said everything with goodbye
G          D           Em           G           
Time moves so slow and promises get broken
C       G        D    G
On this cold day in July
 

F               C                G  
Suns comin' up, comin up down on Main Street
F              C                         G
Children shout as they're running out to play
F                C                        G
Head in my hands here I am standing in my bare feet,
C            D     G
Watching you drive away,
C            D     G
Watching you drive away.
 

G             D Em                  G
You said that we were gonna last forever
C            G          D     
You said our love would never die
G             D              Em               G
It looks like spring, and it feels like sunny weather
C          G        D    G
But it's a cold day in July
F                   C                 G
Oh, sun's comin' up comin' up down on Main Street
F              C                         G
Children shout as they're running out to play
F                      C                        G
Whoa, head in my hands here I am Standing in my bare feet
C            D      G
Watching you drive away
C            D      G
Watching you drive away
 
G           D   Em               G
The moon is full and my arms are empty
C         G             D
All night long how I've pleaded and cried
G          D         Em                 G
You always said, the day that you would leave me
C          G        D    G
Would be a cold day in July
C               G        D    G
Here comes that cold day in July
 
Then repeat this three times (same as first verse)
G D Em G
C G D
