Gretchen Peters - Independence Day


CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: FF Bb majorBb FF Bb majorBb FF Bb majorBb FF

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

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


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


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


CHORUS:
N.C.    C majorC            DmDm
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
    Bb majorBb            FF        C majorC
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
        DmDm            Bb majorBb
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
         FF          C majorC
Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay
N.C.       FF  Bb majorBb FF  Bb majorBb
It's Independence Day

     FF          Bb majorBb
Well, she lit up the sky that Fourth of July
    FF           Bb majorBb
By the time that the firemen come
     FF              Bb majorBb       FF
They just put out the flames and they took down some names
  C majorC
And sent me to the county home


  FF          Bb majorBb
Now I ain't saying it's right or it's wrong
  FF          Bb majorBb
But maybe it's the only way
   DmDm         Bb majorBb   FF
Let's talk about your revolution
C majorC         FF
It's Independence Day


CHORUS:
N.C.    C majorC            DmDm
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
    Bb majorBb            FF        C majorC
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
        DmDm            Bb majorBb
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
         FF          C majorC
Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay
N.C.       FF  Bb majorBb
It's Independence Day
         FF  Bb majorBb
Roll that stone away
         FF  Bb majorBb  FF
