      G                      
Well, papa go to bed now it's 
 D
getting late,
G                                 
nothing we can say is gonna change
         D
 anything now
        G                          
I'll be leaving in the morning from
     D
 St. Mary's Gate,
            A                      
we wouldn't change this thing even 
                G
if we could somehow

          G                        
Cause the darkness of this house 
          D
has got the best of us,
          G                    
there's a darkness in this town 
               D
that's got us too,
               G                   
But they can t touch me now and you
       D
 can't touch me now,
                 A              
they ain't gonna do to me what I 
                    G
watched them do to you

   G                     D
So say goodbye, it's Independence 
Day,
         A                         
it's Independence Day all down the 
G
line
                           D
Just say goodbye, it's Independence 
Day,
         A                 G
it's Independence Day this time

     G                             
Now, I don't know what it always 
  D
was with us,
             G                  
we chose the words, and yeah, we 
          D
drew the lines
               G                
There was just no way this house 
                D
could hold the two of us, anymore,
                A                  
I guess that we were just too much 
            G
of the same kind

      G                     D
Well, say goodbye, it's Independence
 Day,
              A                  G
it's Independence Day, all boys must
 run away,
                        D
So say goodbye it's Independence 
Day,
             A                   
all men must make their way, come 
     G

        G                          
Now the rooms are all empty down at
 D
 Frankie's joint,
        G                          
and the highway she's deserted 
                    D
clear down to Breaker's Point
          G                        
There's a lot of people leaving 
                     D
town now, leaving their friends, 
their homes;
              A                 
at night they walk that dark and 
               G
dusty highway all alone

      G                      
Well, papa go to bed now it's 
 D
getting late,
G                                 
nothing we can say is gonna change
         D
 anything now
Because there's just different 
       G
people coming down here now,
and they see things in different 
D
ways;
         A                         
and soon everything we've known 
          G
will just be swept away

   G                    D
So say goodbye it's Independence 
Day,
           A                  
papa now I know the things you 
                 G
wanted that you could not say
But won't you just say goodbye, it's
     D
 Independence Day,
          A                        
I swear I never meant to take those
 G
 things away
