Independence Day Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Wel[C]l s[G]he [C]seemed a[G]ll 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
[D]But Daddy'd left the proof on her cheek
[C]And [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 [G]in town
[D]On Independence Day
[G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]
Well [G]word gets around in a small,
[C]small town
[G]They said he was a dangerous [C]man
[G]That mama was proud and
[C]she stood her [G]ground
But she [D]knew she was on the losin' end
[C]Som[G]e folks whispered
and [C]some folks talked
But every[G]body looked the other way
[C]And whe[Em]n time ran out
there was [C]no one about
[G]On Indep[D]endence 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 of [D]reckoning
Let the weak be [Em]strong,
let the right be [C]wrong
Roll the stone [G]away, let the guilty pay
[D]It's Independence Day
[G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]
Well she [G]lit up the sky that [C]fourth of July
By [G]the time that the firemen [C]come
[G]They took down some names
and [C]put out [G]the flames
and sen[D]t me to the county home
[C]Oh, and I[G] ain't sayin' it's
[C]right or it's wrong
[G]But 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 of [D]reckoning
Let the weak be [Em]strong,
let the right be [C]wrong
Roll the stone [G]away, let the [D]guilty pay
It's Independence [G]Day
[C]Roll the stone awa[G]y
[C]It's Independence Day
[G][C]
