[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Well, she [G]seemed alright by [C]dawn's early light
Though she [G]looked
a little worried and [C]weak
She [G]tried to pretend he wasn't [C]drinkin' a[G]gain
But [D]daddy left the proof on her cheek
[C]And I w[G]as only eight years old [C]that summer
And I [G]always seemed to be in the [C]way
So, I [Em]took myself down to the [C]fair in [G]town
[D]On Independence Day

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 2]
Well, [G]word gets around in a [C]small, small town
They [G]said he was a dangerous [C]man
But [G]mama was proud
and she [C]stood her [G]ground
She [D]knew she was on the losin' end
[C]Som[G]e folks whispered, som[C]e folks talked
But every[G]body looked the other [C]way
When [Em]time ran out there was [C]no one a[G]bout
[D]On Independence [G]Day

[Chorus 1]
Let freedom [D]ring
Let the white [Em]dove sing
Let the [C]whole world know that to[G]day
Is a day [D]of reckoning
Let the weak be [Em]strong
Let the right be [C]wrong
Roll the stone a[G]way
Let the guilty [D]pay

[Interlude 2]
It's Independence Day
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 3]
Well she [G]lit up the sky that fourth [C]of July
By the [G]time that the firemen [C]come
They just [G]put out the flames
and [C]took down some [G]names
And [D]sent me to the county home
[C]Now[G], I ain't sayin' it's rig[C]ht or it's wrong
But [G]maybe it's the only [C]way
[Em]Talk about your revo[C]lu [G]tion
[D]it's Independence [G]Day

[Chorus 2]
Let freedom [D]ring
Let the white [Em]dove sing
Let the [C]whole world know that to[G]day
Is a day [D]of reckoning
Let the weak be [Em]strong
Let the right be [C]wrong
Roll the stone a[G]way
Let the guilty [D]pay

[Outro 1]
It's Independence Day
[G]Rol[C]l the stone away[G]
[C]It's Independence Day[G][C][G]
