Independence Day Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Wel[C]l s[G]he [C]seemed a[G]lright
by [C]dawn's early light
Though she [G]looked a little
worried [C]and weak
She [G]tried to pretend he wasn't
drinkin' again
[D]But daddy left the proof on her cheek
[C]And [G]I was only eight
years [C]old that summer
And [G]I always seemed to be in the w[C]ay
So I [Em]took myself down to the [C]fair in [G]town
[D]On Independence Day
[G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]
Well [G]word gets around in [C]a small,
small town
[G]They said he was a dangerous [C]man
But [G]mama was proud and
she [C]stood her [G]ground
She [D]knew she was on the losin' end
[C]Som[G]e folks whispered,
[C]some folks talked
But every[G]body looked the other [C]way
And when [Em]time ran out,
there was [C]no one [G]about
[D]On Independence Day
[G]

[Verse 3]
Let freedom [D]ring
Let the white dove [Em]sing
Let the [C]whole world know
That [G]today is a day [D]of reckoning
Let the weak be [Em]strong
Let the right be [C]wrong
Roll the stone away,
[G]let the guilty pay[D]
On Independence Day
[G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]
Well she [G]lit up the sky the fourth [C]of July
By [G]the time that the [C]firemen came
They just [G]put out the flames and
[C]took down [G]some names
And sen[D]t me to the county h[C]ome
Now [G]I ain't sayin' it's
[C]right or it's wrong
But [G]maybe it's the only [C]way
[Em]Talk about your revolu[C]tion[G]
[D]It's Independence Day
[G]

[Verse 5]
Let freedom [D]ring
Let the white dove [Em]sing
Let the [C]whole world know
That [G]today is a day [D]of reckoning
Let the weak be [Em]strong
Let the right be [C]wrong
Roll the stone [G]away, let the guilty [D]pay
On In[G]de [C]pend[G] en[C]ce Day
[G][C]
