                             Bb             
Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light 
           F                           Bb      
Though she looked a little worried and weak 
    F                          Bb         F 
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinking again 
    C                                   
But Daddy'd left the proof on her cheek 


F                      Bb         
I was only eight years old that summer 
      F                          Bb    
And I always seemed to be in the way 
     Dm                      Bb       F     C 
So I took myself down to the fair in town 
                F    Bb  F  Bb    
On Independence Day 


      F                     Bb             
Well, word gets around in a small, small town 
     F                       Bb     
They said he was a dangerous man 
    F                      Bb         F 
But Mama was proud and she stood her ground 
    C                               
She knew she was on the losing end 


F                     Bb 
Some folks whispered, some just talked 
         F                     Bb 
But everybody looked the other way 
    Dm                           Bb      F      C 
And when time ran out, there was no one about 
                F     Bb F 
On Independence Day 


N.C. C Dm Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing Bb F C Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning Dm Bb Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong F C Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay N.C. F Bb F Bb It's Independence Day
F Bb Well, she lit up the sky that Fourth of July F Bb By the time that the firemen come F Bb F They just put out the flames and they took down some names C And sent me to the county home F Bb Now I ain't saying it's right or it's wrong F Bb But maybe it's the only way Dm Bb F Let's talk about your revolution C F It's Independence Day
N.C. C Dm Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing Bb F C Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning Dm Bb Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong F C Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay N.C. F Bb It's Independence Day F Bb Roll that stone away F Bb F It's Independence Day
