[Verse 1]
           G         G        C  
Well she seemed all right by 
          C
dawn's early light
           G               G      
Though she looked a little worried
      C     C
 and weak
    G            G           
She tried to pretend he wasn't

drinking again
    D                D            
But Daddy'd left the proof on her

cheek

G          G            C   
I was only eight years old that 
     C
summer
       G               G          
And I always seemed to be in the 
C   C
way
     Em           Em          C  
So I took myself down to the fair
     G
 in town

On Independence Day

Well, word gets around in a small, 
small town
They said he was a dangerous man

But Mama was proud and she stood her
 ground
She knew she was on the losing end

Some folks whispered, some folks 
talked
But everybody looked the other way
And when time ran out, there was no 
one about
 D     D         G   G   G [stop]
On Independence Day

[Chorus]
             D   D   D        D 
Let freedom ring,     let the 
        Em    Em   Em   Em
white dove sing
          C           C          
Let the whole world know that 
G       G     D      D   D   D
today is a day of reckoning
                Em7    Em7   Em7 
Let the weak be strong,        
       Em7       C   C
let the right be wrong
C           C       G           G   
    D [stop]
  Roll that stone away, let the 
guilty pay

It's Independence Day

[Verse 2]
Well, she lit up the sky that Fourth
 of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames and 
they took down some names
And sent me to the county home

Now I ain't saying it's right or 
it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day

[Chorus]
             D   D   D        D 
Let freedom ring,     let the 
        Em    Em   Em   Em
white dove sing
          C           C          
Let the whole world know that 
G       G     D      D   D   D
today is a day of reckoning
                Em7    Em7   Em7 
Let the weak be strong,        
       Em7       C   C
let the right be wrong
C           C       G           G   
    D [stop]
  Roll that stone away, let the 
guilty pay
                   G   G   C     
It's Independence Day,       roll
      C       G   G
 that stone away
C          C         G   G   C 
  It's Independence Day
