Song Name: Firework
Artist Name: Katy Perry
BEGINNERS READ THIS:
This is a simplified version of the song that only uses 4 basic chords. Great for
beginners who want to practice the normal G, Am, Em and C chords.
EASIER OPTION:
Another way to play the song is to replace Am with A7sus4, Em with Em7 and C with
Cadd9. This is an easier way to play if you?re not comfortable with changing
chords yet and it also sounds good on Acoustic Guitar.
TO PLAY WITH ORIGINAL SONG:
Capo 1st fret if you have a capo. If you don?t have one, transpose the chords
below up 1 half step.

INTRO: G Am Em C
VERSE 1:
[G] Do you ever feel [Am]like a plastic bag,
[Em] drifting through the wind
[C] wanting to start again?
[G] Do you ever feel, [Am]feel so paper thin
[Em] like a house of cards,
[C] one blow from caving in[G]?
[G] Do you ever feel [Am]already buried deep?
[Em] 6 feet under screams[C] but no one seems to hear a thing
[G] Do you know that there's s[Am]till a chance for you
[Em] 'Cause there's a spark in y[C]ou
PRE-CHORUS:
You just gotta i[G]gnite, the [Am]light, and l[Em]et it s[C]hine
Just [G]own the [Am]night like the [Em]4th of Jul[C]y
CHORUS:
Cause baby you're a [G]fire[Am]work
Come on, show 'em w[Em]hat you're [C]worth
Make 'em go "[G]Oh, oh, oh[Am]"
As you shoot across the [Em]sky-y-y[C]
Baby, you're a [G]fire[Am]work
Come on, let your c[Em]olors b[C]urst
Make 'em go "[G]Oh, oh, oh[Am]"
You're gonna leave 'em f[Em]alling down-own-ow[C]n
VERSE 2:
[G] You don't have to feel [Am]like a waste of space
[Em] You're original,[C] cannot be replaced
[G] If you only knew [Am]what the future holds
[Em] After a hurricane[C] comes a rainbow
[G] Maybe your reason why[Am] all the doors are closed
[Em] So you could open one[C] that leads you to the perfect road
[G] Like a lightning bolt,[Am] your heart will blow
[Em] And when it's time, you'll know [C]
PRE-CHORUS:
You just gotta i[G]gnite, the [Am]light, and [Em]let it [C]shine
Just [G]own the [Am]night like the [Em]4th of Jul[C]y
CHORUS:
Cause baby you're a [G]fire[Am]work
Come on, show 'em w[Em]hat you're wo[C]rth
Make 'em go "[G]Oh, oh, o[Am]h"
As you shoot across the [Em]sky-y-y[C]
Baby, you're a [G]firew[Am]ork
Come on, let your [Em]colors [C]burst
Make 'em go "[G]Oh, oh, [Am]oh"
You're gonna leave 'em falling[Em] down-own-ow[C]n
BRIDGE:
[G]Boom, boom, boom[Am]
Even brighter than the [Em]moon, moon, moo[C]n
It's always been inside of [G]you, you, yo[Am]u
And now it's time to let it [Em]through-ough-ou[C]gh
CHORUS:
Cause baby you're a [G]fire[Am]work
Come on, show 'em w[Em]hat you're wo[C]rth
Make 'em go "[G]Oh, oh, o[Am]h"
As you shoot across the [Em]sky-y-y[C]
Baby, you're a [G]firew[Am]ork
Come on, let your [Em]colors [C]burst
Make 'em go "[G]Oh, oh, [Am]oh"
You're gonna leave 'em falling[Em] down-own-ow[C]n
ENDING:
[G]Boom, boom, boom[Am]
Even brighter than the [Em]moon, moon, moon[C]
[G]Boom, boom, boom[Am]
Em C (End on G after playing C)
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
