Intro
[G] [C] [G] [C]
Verse 1
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]drinkin' [G]again
But [D]Daddy'd left the proof on her [D]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][C]Day[C][G]
Verse 2
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
but She [D]knew she was on the losing [D][D]end[C]
[G]Some folks whispered, [C]some folks talked
But [G]everybody looked the other [C]way
And when [Em]time ran out, there was [C]no one [G]about
[D]On Independence [G]Day
Chorus
Let freedom [D]ring, let the white dove [Em]sing
Let the [C]whole world know that [G]today is a day of [D]reckoning
Let the weak be [Em]strong, let the right be [C]wrong
[C]Roll that stone [G]away, let the guilty [D]pay
It's Independence [G][C]Day[C][G]
Verse 3
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 [D][D]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
[Em]Talk about your [C][G]rev-o-lu-tion
It's [D]Independence [G]Day
Chorus
Let freedom [D]ring, let the white dove [Em]sing
Let the [C]whole world know that [G]today is a day of [D]reckoning
Let the weak be [Em]strong, let the right be [C]wrong
G D (once)
Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay
It's Independence [G]Day, [C] roll that stone [G]away[C]
It's Independence [G][C]Day[G]
