Independence Day Chords by Martina Mcbride

_ _ I have to say that _ I've been a _ _ lot of places in the last four weeks, three or four weeks,
and _ we're _ all going through a really difficult time right now.
_ I have to tell you that every place I've gone, I have just been so overwhelmed _
by _ how people are standing together, _ pulling together, _ comforting each other.
I think I know for the first time what it feels like to be an American.
I have to say it feels real good. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I want to thank you all for _ allowing us to come here and _ pretend for 75 minutes
that we are living in a simpler time.
Thank you.

Let freedom [D] _ ring.

_ _ _ _ _ _ That sounded so good I want to do it again, but I want you all to sing it with me.
Let freedom _ _ _ ring. _
_ _ Let the wild dove sing.
_ _ _ _ Let the _ whole world know _ that today _ is a day of _ reckoning. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Let the weak _ be _ _ strong. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Let the right _ _ _ _ _ wrong _ _ _ _ _ _ _
and the guilty _ _ pay. _

dependence _ day.
[C] _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ Well, [A] she seemed all right [D] by dawn's early light, [A] but she looked a little [D] worried and weak.
_ [A] She tried to pretend you wasn't drinking again.
[E] Her daddy left the proof on the tree.
_ _ [D] [A] And I was only eight [D] years old that summer, and I [A] always seemed to be [D] in her way.
_ [F#m] So I took myself down to the fair [A] in town [E] on the independence [A] day.
_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] Well, I was around [D] in a small, small [A] town.
They said he was a [D] dangerous man. _
[A] But mama was proud and [D] she stood [A] her ground.
[E] She knew she was only losing it. _ _
[A] _ Some folks whispered.
[D] Some folks talked.
[A] But everybody looked the [D] other way. _
[F#m] When time ran out, there [D] was no [A] one left [E] on the independence [A] day. _
_ _ [F#m] Let freedom [E] ring. _
_ Let the wild [F#m] dove _ sing.
_ Let [D] the whole [A] world know that today is a [E] day of reckoning.
_ _ Let the weak [F#m] be strong.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ Let the [A] _ _
right wrong and the guilty [E] pay.
Sound dependence [A] _ day.
[D] Yeah!
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ Well, [A] she loved the sky, the [D] apple, the july, [A] by the time that the [D] firemen come.
_ [A] They just put out the flames [D] and choked down [A] the names.
[E] They sent me to the county home.
_ _ [A] Now I ain't saying it's [D] right or it's wrong, [A] but maybe it's the [D] only way.
_ _ [F#m] Talk about your [D] revolution.
_ [A] _ _ [E] It's independence [A] day.
It's _ [Am] independence [E] day.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [E] _ _ _ _ Let the [F#m] weak be strong. _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ Let the _ [A] _ _ right wrong and the guilty [E] pay.
It's independence [A] _ _ day.
