Independence Day Chords

[Intro]
 
G  C  G  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
           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 drinkin' again
    D                                    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
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
        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                           D  D C
but 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
On Independence Day
 
 
[Chorus]
 
N.C.        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
                Em                        C
Let the weak be strong,  let the right be wrong
C                 G                   D (once)
Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay
                  G   C  G  C
It's Independence Day
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
           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                       D  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
Em                     C   G
Talk about your rev-o-lu-tion
     D             G
It's Independence Day
 
 
[Chorus]
 
N.C.         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
                Em                         C
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
                  G                  D  (once)
Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay
                   G   C                    G   C
It's Independence Day,    roll that stone away
                  G   C   G (arpeggio)
It's Independence Day
