Independence Day

[G]  [C]  [G]  [C]

Well she [G]seemed all right by [C]dawn's early light
Though she [G]looked a little worried and [C]weak
She [G]tried to pretend he wasn't [C]drinking [G]again
But [D]Daddy'd left the proof on her cheek  [C]

[G]I was only eight years [C]old that summer
And I [G]always seemed to be in the [C]way
So I [Em]took myself down to the [C]fair in [G]town
[D]On Independence [G]Day  [C]     [G]        [C]

Well, [G]word gets around in a [C]small, small town
They [G]said he was a dangerous [C]man
But [G]Mama was proud and she [C]stood her [G]ground
She [D]knew she was on the losing end  [C]
[G]Some folks whispered, [C]some folks talked
But every[G]body looked the other [C]way
And [Em]when time ran out, there was [C]no one [G]about
[D]               [G]....stop
On Independence Day

Let freedom [D]ring, let the white dove [Em]sing
Let the [C]whole world know that to[G]day is a day of [D]reckoning
Let the weak be [Em7]strong,  let the right be [C]wrong
 [C]              [G]                    [D] [once, let ring out]
Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay
It's Independence [G]Day [C]    [G]       [C]

Well, she [G]lit up the sky that [C]Fourth of July
By the [G]time that the firemen [C]come
They just[G] put out the flames and they [C]took down some [G]names
And [D]sent me to the county home  [C]

Now [G]I ain't saying it's [C]right or it's wrong
But [G]maybe it's the only [C]way
[G]Talk about your [C]revolu[G]tion
[D]                 [G]....stop
It's Independence Day

Let freedom [D]ring, let the white dove [Em]sing
Let the [C]whole world know that to[G]day is a day of [D]reckoning
Let the weak be [Em7]strong,  let the right be [C]wrong
 [C]              [G]                    [D] [once, let ring out]
Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay
It's Independence [G]Day,[C]  roll that stone [G]away
[C] It's Independence [G]Day [C]     [G]

Have fun :)
