Capo 2 Key A

[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                                    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                               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]
 
               D                     Em
Let freedom ring,   let the white dove sing
             C                         G  
Let the whole    world know that today    
             D
is a day of reckoning
                Em                              C
Let the weak be strong,   let the right be wrong
                     G                     D  
Roll that stone away,    let the guilty pay
                      G   C                       G
It's Independence Day,       roll that stone away
C                        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                 
They just put out the flames 
          C              G
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
Em                 C  G
Talk about your rev-o-lu-tion
     D                   G
It's    Independence Day
 
 
[Chorus]
 
               D                     Em
Let freedom ring,   let the white dove sing
             C                         G  
Let the whole    world know that today    
             D
is a day of reckoning
                Em                              C
Let the weak be strong,   let the right be wrong
                     G                     D  
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
