This song uses some pretty unique chord voicings and I tried to capture those here.
She also uses several walk downs and walk ups throughout the song that I haven't seen in other versions.
[Note on chorus - Between the E chord and the C#m7, walk up the low E string on each beat,
stopping at F# and G#. E.g. on the first chorus, the F# would fall on "My" and the g# would fall on "God"]
Generally, she plays the root(lowest string) on the downbeat and then strums for the 2 and the 3.

[Verse]

G#m7 C#m7 Asus2

Today's the fourth of July

G#m7 C#m7 Asus2

Another June has gone by

G#m7 C#m7 D

And when they light up our town

Dsus2 Dm7sus2 A F#m7 G#m7 A Asus2

I just think what a waste of gunpowder and sky

[Verse]

G#m7 C#m7 Asus2

I'm certain I am alone

G#m7 C#m7 Asus2

In harbouring thoughts of our home

G#m7 C#m7 D Dsus2 Dm7sus2 A

It's one of my faults that I can't quell my past

F#m7 G#m7 A Asus2

I ought to have gotten it gone

[Chorus]

Badd4 A

Oh, baby

E C#m7 F#

I wonder if when you are older

Badd4 A Asus2

Some day

Badd4 A E

You'll wake up and say

C#m7 F#

"My God, I should have told her

Badd4 A Asus2

What would it take?

Badd4 A E C#m7 F# A Asus2

But now here I am and the world's gotten colder

F#m7 G#m7 Asus2

And she's got the river down which I sold her"

[Verse]

G#m7 C#m7 Asus2

So that's today's memory lane

G#m7 C#m7 Asus2

With all the pathos and pain

G#m7 C#m7 D Dsus2 Dm7sus2 A F#m7

Another chapter in a book where the chapters are endless

G#m7 A Asus2

And they're always the same

F#m7 G#m7 Asus2

A verse, then a verse, and refrain

[Chorus]

Badd4 A

Oh, baby

E C#m7 F#

I wonder if when you are older

Badd4 A Asus2

Some day

Badd4 A E

You'll wake up and say

C#m7 F#

"My God, I should have told her

Badd4 A Asus2

What would it take?

Badd4 A E C#m7 F# A Asus2

But now here I am and the world's gotten colder

F#m7 G#m7 Asus2

And she's got the river down which I sold her"
