Chords for Martina McBride — "Independence Day" — Live

_ _ When I dreamed of playing Carnegie Hall, I never dreamed I would get to come and play here with the Opry.
That makes it even more special. _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ I'm here to tell you [N] I've been here in New York City since noon, 12 o'clock.
I've had 17 slices of pizza. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Our next guest has just released probably what's going to be one of the most pivotal albums of her career.
She went back and _ dusted off a lot of classics that she grew up with, her father grew up with,
and the songs that really mean so much to her.
She's had a string of hits for an awfully long time in country music,
but she's gone back and paid her respects to those that taught her how to do what she knows how to do,
and nobody does it better.
Please make welcome Miss Martina McBride.

_ [D] _ _ Well, [A] she seemed all right [D] by dawn's early [A] light
But she looked a little worried and weary
[D] _ _ [A] She tried to pretend he wasn't drinking again
[E] But daddy left the proof on the cheap
_ _ [A] And I was only eight [D] years old that summer
[A] And I always seemed to be in the [D] way
So [F#m] I took myself down to [D] the [A] fair in town
[E] On Independence [A] _ _ [D] Day _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] Well, I heard he's around in [D] a small, small town
[A] They said he was a dangerous [D] man _
[A] But mama was proud and [D] she stood [A] her ground
And [E] she knew she was only losing _ _
[D] Some [A] _ folks whispered, [D] some folks talked
But [A] everybody looked the other [D] _ _
way
[F#m] When town ran out, there was [A] no one about
[E] On Independence [A] Day _
_ _ [F#] Let freedom [E] _ ring, _ let the white [F#m] dogs sing
_ _ Let [D] the highway, _
_ [A] _ _ let the [E] day, _ _ _ let the _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] wheelie roam
_ _ Roll the _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] sails, it's Independence [A] Day _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [A] Well, she lit up the sky [D] that fourth of July
[A] By the time that the [D] firemen come
They [A] just put out the flames [D] and took down [A] the names
[E] And sent me to the county home
_ _ [D] [A] Now I ain't saying it's [D] right or it's wrong
[A] But maybe it's the [D] only way
Talk [F#m] _ about your [D] revolution
[A] _ _ [E] It's Independence [A] Day
_ Let _ _ [F#m]
freedom [E] _ ring, _ let the white [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
dogs sing
Let [D] the _ _ _ [A] _ highway, let the day, [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ let the wheelie roam
Roll the _ [A] _ _ _ [E] sails, it's Independence _ [A] Day
_ [D] _ Roll the _ [A] _ _ [D] sails, it's Independence _ [A] Day
