[Verse 1]
EmCG
Tell your folks that I get out today
G/F#Em
And how your man thirsts
CGG/F#
And how his mind works
EmCG
And tell the kids that I am here to stay
G/F#Em
And tell your new one
CG
That he is my son
[Chorus]
Am7Am7/BCD
(Oh, oh, oh, oh,)
EmGCG
Can't you feel it? Your hometown hero is home, babe
Am7Am7/BCDE
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,)
GCG
It's Independence Day
[Verse 2]
EmCG
Can't you see the rockets, the red glare?
G/F#Em
And all her dreamers
CG
And party streamers
EmCG
I'd rather be with you here than anywhere
G/F#Em
It felt like a century
CG
In the penitentiary
[Chorus]
Am7Am7/BCD
(Oh, oh, oh, oh,)
EmGCG
Can't you feel it? Your hometown hero is home, babe
Am7Am7/BCDE
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,)
GCG
It's Independence Day
[Outro]
EmGCGG/F#
Can't you feel it? Your hometown hero is home, babe
EmG
Can almost taste it, the whole town's amazin'
CGG/F#
Threw your man his own parade
EmG
You crack one face at a Pirates game
CGG/F#
They don't care who you are, they just put you away
EmGCG
Can't you feel it? That hometown spirit is ho~ome, babe
Am7Am7/BCDE
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,)
GCG
It's Independence Day
