[D] [E]
[A] Well she seemed alright [D] by dawn's early [A] light, but she looked a little [D] worried and weak.
[A] She tried to pretend she wasn't drinking again, [E] but daddy left the proof on her cheek.
[A] I was only eight [D] years old that summer, [A] and I always seemed to be [D] in the way.
[F#m] So I took myself down to the fair in town, [E] on Independence [A] Day.
[D]
[A] [D] [A] Well word gets around [D] in a small, small [A] town, they said he was a [D] dangerous man.
[A] But mama was proud and she stood her ground.
[E] She knew she was on the losing end.
[A] Some folks [D] whispered, some folks talked, [A] but everybody was the [D] other way.
[F#m] And in time right now, there was no one left [E] on Independence [A] Day.
Let freedom [E] ring, let the wild [F#m] stars sing.
Let [D] the whole world know that [A] today, today,
[E] Let [F#m] the good be told, let the right [D] be wrong.
[A] Let's forget a [E] day that's Independence Day.
[D]
[A] Well she lit up the sky, [D] that voice of July.
[A] By the time that the firemen [D] had come,
They [A] just put out the flames [D] and took down some men,
[E] And sent me to the county hall.
[A] Now I ain't saying [D] it's right or it's wrong, [A] but maybe it's the [D] only way.
[F#m] Talk about no revolution, [E] it's Independence [A] Day.
Let freedom [E] ring, let the wild [F#m] stars sing.
Let [D] the whole world know that [A] today, today,
[E] [F#m]
Let the right be [D] wrong.
For all [A] the heaven's a given, [E] it's Independence [A] Day.
