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] [Am]
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
[Em]
drifting through the wind
[C]
wanting to start again?
[G] [Am]
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
[Em]
like a house of cards,
[C] [G]
one blow from caving in?
[G] [Am]
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
[Em] [C]
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
[G] [Am]
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
[Em] [C]
'Cause there's a spark in you
Pre-Chorus
[G] [Am] [Em] [C]
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
[G] [Am] [Em] [C]
Just own the night like the 4th of July

Cause baby you're a firework
[Em] [C]
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
[G] [Am]

Verse 2
[G] [Am]
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
[Em] [C]
You're original, cannot be replaced
[G] [Am]
If you only knew what the future holds
[Em] [C]
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
[G] [Am]
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
[Em] [C]
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
[G] [Am]
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
[Em] [C]
And when it's time, you'll know
Pre-Chorus
[G] [Am] [Em] [C]
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
[G] [Am] [Em] [C]

Cause baby you're a firework
[Em] [C]
Come on, show 'em what you're worth

As you shoot across the sky-y-y
[G] [Am]
Baby, you're a firework
[Em] [C]
Come on, let your colors burst
[G] [Am]
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
[Em] [C]
You're gonna leave 'em falling down-own-own
Bridge
[G] [Am]
Boom, boom, boom

And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough
