Born On The Fourth Of July chords by Tom Paxton

Here are the chords and words to the Tom Paxton song "Born on the fourth
of July", written about the Viet Nam veteran Ron Kovic, who was
paralysed in the war. It is based on Kovic's autobiography of the same
name, which in turn has been made into a film starring Tom Cruise. I
thought that if you're going to bother having any Tom Paxton on your
guitar file you might at least have one of his better, though less
well-known songs, instead of just rubbish like the Marvellous Toy.
