Independence Day

INTRO: F  Bb  F  Bb  F  Bb  F

                             Bb
Well she seemed all right by dawn's 
early light
           F                       
Though she looked a little worried 
    Bb
and weak
    F                         
She tried to pretend he wasn't 
 Bb         F
drinking again
    C
But Daddy'd left the proof on her 
cheek


F                      Bb
I was only eight years old that 
summer
      F                          Bb
And I always seemed to be in the way
     Dm                      Bb   
So I took myself down to the fair 
    F     C
in town
                F    Bb  F  Bb
On Independence Day


      F                     Bb
Well, word gets around in a small, 
small town
     F                       Bb
They said he was a dangerous man
    F                      Bb     
But Mama was proud and she stood 
    F
her ground
    C
She knew she was on the losing end

F                     Bb
Some folks whispered, some just 
talked
         F                     Bb
But everybody looked the other way
    Dm                           
And when time ran out, there was 
Bb      F      C
no one about
                F     Bb F
On Independence Day


CHORUS:
N.C.        C                       
Dm
Let freedom ring, let the white dove
 sing
        Bb                       F
Let the whole world know that 
               C
today is a day of reckoning
                Dm             
Let the weak be strong, let the 
           Bb
right be wrong
                 F                 
Roll that stone away, let the 
  C
guilty pay
N.C.              F    Bb  F   Bb
It's Independence Day


          F                   Bb
Well, she lit up the sky that Fourth
 of July
       F                     Bb
By the time that the firemen come
         F                      
They just put out the flames and 
      Bb              F
they took down some names
    C
And sent me to the county home


    F                   Bb
Now I ain't saying it's right or 
it's wrong
    F                   Bb
But maybe it's the only way
      Dm                  Bb      F
Let's talk about your revolution
C                 F
It's Independence Day

Let the whole world know that 
               C
today is a day of reckoning
                Dm             
Let the weak be strong, let the 
           Bb
right be wrong
                 F                 
Roll that stone away, let the 
  C
guilty pay
N.C.              F    Bb
It's Independence Day

Roll that stone away
