[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] Well, she seemed all right [Db] by dawn's early light
[Ab] Though she looked a little worried [Db] and weak
She [Ab] tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
[Eb] But daddy left the proof on her cheek
[Db] [Ab] And I was only eight [Db] years old that summer
[Ab] And I always seemed to be [Db] in the way
[Fm] So I took myself down to the [Ab] fair and town
[Eb] [Ab] On Independence Day
[Db] Well, [Ab]
[Db] [Ab] we're surrounded [Db] in a small, small [Ab] town
They said he was a [Db] dangerous man
But [Ab] mama was proud and she stood her ground
[Eb] She wished she was on the losing end
[Db] [Ab] Some folks whispered, [Db] some folks [Ab] talked
But everybody looked the [Db] other way
[Fm] When time ran out, there was [Ab] no one left
[Eb] On Independence [Ab] Day
Let the freedom [Eb] ring
Let the white [Fm] sun shine
Let [Db] the [Ab] way, it's a day
[Eb] Let the wind [Fm] be your song
Let the ride [Db] be your road
[Ab] Let the music, [Eb]
it's Independence [Ab] Day
[Db]
[Ab] [Db]
Well, [Ab] she lit up the sky [Db] that fall of July
[Ab] By the time that the [Db] firemen come
[Ab] They just put out the flames and [Db] took [Ab] down some days
[Eb] And sent me to the county hall
[Db] [Ab] Now, I ain't sayin' [Db] it's right or it's wrong
[Ab] But maybe it's the only [Db]
way
[Fm] Talk about your [Db] revolution
[Ab] [Eb] It's Independence [Ab] Day
Let [B] the freedom [Eb] ring
Let the white [Fm] sun shine
[Db] Let the
[Ab] way, it's a day
[Eb]
Let the wind [Fm] be your song
[Db]
Let the ride be your road
Let [Ab]
the music, [Eb] it's Independence [Ab] Day
[Db] Let the ride [Ab]
[Db] be your road
