Capo di fret 2
(Intro) G C G C
G
Well she seemed all right
C
by dawn's early light
G
Though she looked
C
a little worried and weak
G
She tried to pretend
C G
he wasn't drinking again
D -C
But Daddy left the proof on her cheek
G
I was only
C
eight years old that summer
G
And I always
C
seemed to be in the way
Em
So I took myself down
C G
to the fair in town
D G C G C
On Independence Day
G
Well, word gets around
C
in a small, small town
G C
They said he was a dangerous man
G
But Mama was proud
C G
and she stood her ground
D -C
She knew she was on the losing end
G
Some folks whispered,
C
some folks talked
G C
But everybody looked the other way
Em
And when time ran out,
C G
there was no one about
D G
On Independence Day..
(Chorus)
D
Let freedom ring..
Em
let the white dove sing..
C
Let the whole world know
G D
that today.. is a day of reckoning
Em
Let the weak be strong..
C
let the right be wrong
G
Roll that stone away,
D
let the guilty pay
G C G C
It's Independence Day
G
Well, she lit up the sky
C
that Fourth of July
G C
By the time that the firemen come
G
They just put out the flames
C G
and they took down some names
D -C
And sent me to the county home
G
Now I ain't saying
C
it's right or it's wrong
G C
But maybe it's the only way
Em C G
Talk about your revolution
D G
It's Independence Day
(Chorus)
D
Let freedom ring..
Em
let the white dove sing..
C
Let the whole world know
G D
that today.. is a day of reckoning
Em
Let the weak be strong..
C
let the right be wrong
G
Roll that stone away,
D
let the guilty pay
G
It's Independence Day
C G
roll that stone away
C G C G
It's Independence Day
