[A]
Well, she [A] seemed all right by [D] dawn's early light, though [A] she looked a little worried [D] and weak.
[A] She tried to pretend he [D] wasn't drinking again, [E] but daddy left the proof on her cheek.
[A] And I was only eight [D] years old that summer, [A] and I always seemed to be in [D] the way.
[F#m] So I took myself down to [D] the fair in town [E] on Independence [A]
Day.
[D]
Well, word gets around in [D] a small, small town, [A] they said he was a dangerous [D] man.
[A] But mama was proud and she [D] stood her [A] ground, [E] she knew she was on the losing end.
[A] Some folks whisper, [D] some folks talk, but [A] everybody looked the other [D] way.
[F#m] When time ran out, there was no one [A] left [E] on Independence [A] Day.
Let freedom [E] ring, let the white [F#m] dove sing.
Let [D] the whole world know that [A] today is a [E] day of awakening.
Let faith [F#m] grow, let there not [D] be wrong,
[A] [E] it's Independence Day.

Well, [A] she lit up the sky [D] that Fourth of July, [A] by the time that the [D] firemen come.
[A] And they stood out the flames [D] and took down [A] some names, [E] 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 your [D] revolution, [A] [E] it's Independence [A] Day.
Let freedom ring, let the white [F#m] dove sing.
Let [D] the whole world [A] know that today is a [E] day of awakening.
Let the weak [F#m] be strong, let the wrong [D] be wrong.
