[D]
Well, she [A] seemed all right [D] by dawn's early light,
[A] though she looked a little [D] worried and weak.
[A] She tried to pretend [D] he wasn't drinking [A]
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 [D] to the [A] 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 dangerous [D] man.
[A] But Mama was proud, and [D] she stood [A] her ground.
[E] She knew she was on the losing end.
[A] Some folks whisper, [D] some folks talk,
but [A] everybody looked the [D] other way.
[F#m] When time ran out, there was no one
who backed [E] on Independence [A] Day.
Let freedom [E] ring.
Let the world [F#m] sing.
Let [D] the whole world know that [A] today is a [E] day of reckoning.
Let it [F#m] be strong.
Let the right [D] be wrong.
Roll the stone.
[A] [E] It's Independence Day.
[D]
[A] [D]
Well, [A] she lit up the sky that [D] Fourth of July.
[A] By the time that the firemen [D] come,
[A] they just put out the flames [D] and serve down [A] some eggs.
[E] Send me to the county home.
[A] Now, I ain't saying it's [D] right or it's wrong,
[A] but maybe it's the only [D] way.
[F#m] Talk about your [D] revolution.
[A]
[E] It's Independence [A] Day.
Let freedom [E]
ring.
Let the white [F#m] dove sing.
Let the [D] whole world know that [A] today is a day [E] of reckoning.
Let the weak [F#m] be strong.
Let the right be [D] wrong.
Roll the [A]
[E] stone.
It's Independence [A] Day.
[D] Roll the stone.
It's Independence Day.
