[A] 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 [D] to the fair [A] and tight [E] on Independence [A] Day. _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [A] Well, once around [D] a small, small town, [A] they said he was a dangerous man.
_ [A] But Mama was proud and she [D] stood her ground.
[E] She knew she was only losing it.
_ _ [A] Some folks whisper, [D] some folks talk, but everybody'll appear the way.
_ [F#m] When time ran out, there was [A] no one left [E] on _ Independence [A] Day.

We'll [A] shield up the sky [D] back for the July, [A] for the time that the firemen [D] come. _
[A] We just put out a flame, took down the names, [E] took the county home. _ _
[A] I ain't saying it's [D] right or wrong, [A] but maybe it's the only [D] way. _
[F#m] Talk about your [D] revolution. _ _ _
[E] It's Independence _ [A] Day. _ _
