And we got some [Gm] really good requests while we were out there meeting y'all and [D] [G] this is one of them.
[D] [G] Well she seemed alright [C] by dawn's [G] early light
Though she looked a little worried [C] and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't [D] drinking again
Caddy left the proof on her cheek
I was only eight years old [G] that summer
[D] And I always seemed to be in the [G] way
[Em] So I took myself down [C] to the fair in [D] town
On Independence Day
[G] Well word gets around [C] in a small, small [G] town
They said he was a [D] dangerous man
Mama was proud that she [C] stood her ground
[D] She knew she was on the losing end
[G] Some folks [D]
whispered, some just talked
[G] But everybody looked the other way
[E] And when time ran out [C] there was no [G] one about
[D] On Independence [G] Day
Let freedom [D] ring
Let the white [E] dove sing
Let [C] the whole world [G] today Today
[D] Let the weak [Em] be strong
[E] Let [C] the evil
Roll the [G] stone away
In a [D] teeny place in a fantasy
[G]
Well she lit up the sky that Fourth [C] of July
[G] By the time that [D] the firemen [C] come
[G]
They just put out the [C] flames, took down [G] some names
[D] Sent me to the county head home
[G] Now I ain't saying [D] it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
[E] Talk about your [C] revolution
[G]
[D] It's Independence [G] Day
Let [D] freedom ring
Let the white [E] dove sing
Let [C] the whole world [G] today Today
