Capo 2

G  C  G  C  


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

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

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

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


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

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

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


Have fun :)
