Independence chords by The Band Perry

• Capo on 3rd

C               G          D                     Am7
Patient anticipation up 'til now I've been hurry up and waitin'

      C                 G           D
At a Bus stop in Independence lickin' an ice cream cone

           C                   G          D
I've been kickin' I've been schemin' this is as close as

 Am7
I've ever been to leavin'

 C                     G                    D
Five blocks away, a stone's throw from home

    Em          D                C
But I, well I'm as good as gone

                G             D
I've gotta get gone, gone, gone

                 Em               C
Shootin' like a gun, a gun, a gun

                 G               D
Skippin' like a stone, stone, stone

              Em                C
Far as I can run to where freedom is free

          Em                    D                      C (hold)
There's a road like a long gray ribbon as far as I can see

And it's pullin' Independence out of me

C / G / D

            C                G
And it's a patient, paper chasin'

 D                                Am7
Leaving the question marks in Mama's glass

               C              G                         D
And put her picture in my pocket along with her rosary

              C                 G
Some say I'm crazy, a little loco

     D                                  Am7
And most of my friends will live and die in this zip code

    C                  G             D
It might be for me, but until I go

        Em      D               C
How am I ever supposed to know


                G             D
I've gotta get gone, gone, gone

                 Em               C
Shootin' like a gun, a gun, a gun

                 G               D
Skippin' like a stone, stone, stone

              Em                C
Far as I can run to where freedom is free

           Em                       D                        C
There's a road like a long gray ribbon as far as I can see


(Mandolin solo)  G / D / Em / C / G / D / Em / C
     G                    D
I'm bustin' out of Independence

     Em                         C
Independence bustin' out of me.

     G                    D
I'm bustin' out of Independence

     Em                         C
Independence bustin' out of me.

     G                    D
I'm bustin' out of Independence

     Em                         C
Independence bustin' out of me.

     G                    D
I'm bustin' out of Independence

    Em                      C (hold)
Independence bustin' out of me.

                G             D
I've gotta get gone, gone, gone

                 Em               C
Shootin' like a gun, a gun, a gun

                 G               D
Skippin' like a stone, stone, stone

              Em                C
Far as I can run to where freedom is free

           Em                       D                        C
There's a road like a long gray ribbon as far as I can see

          Em                    D                      C (hold)
There's a road like a long gray ribbon as far as I can see

And it's pullin' Independence outta me

C / G / D / Am7              C / G / D
            Independence......
