Independence Day (Cifras)

[Intro]

G  C  G  C  


[Verse]

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

G                          C        
I was only eight years old    that summer
      G                             C   
And I always seemed to be in the way
     Em                          C     G
So I took myself down to the fair   in town
  D                   G    C  G  C   
On   Independence Day

          G                     C            
Well, word   gets around in a small, small town
     G                          C    
They said he was a dangerous man
    G                      C         G
But Mama was proud and she stood her ground
         D                               C
but She knew she was on the losing end
G                     C
Some folks whispered, some folks talked
         G                         C
But everybody looked the other way
         Em                         C      G
And when time ran out, there was no one about
  D                   G    (stop)
On    Independence Day


[Chorus]

            D                        Em    
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
        C                       G               D      
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
                Em7                       C   
Let the weak be strong,  let the right be wrong
C              G                    D [once, let ring out]
Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay
                  G   C  G  C   
It's Independence Day


[Verse]

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

    G                        C              
Now I ain't saying it's right    or it's wrong
    G                      C     
But maybe it's the only way
Em                 C  G
Talk about your rev-o-lu-tion
     D                   G    (stop)
It's    Independence Day


[Chorus]

                 D                     Em    
Let freedom ring,   let the white dove sing
             C                         G               D      
Let the whole    world know that today    is a day of reckoning
                Em                              C   
Let the weak be strong,   let the right be wrong
                     G                     D  [once, let ring out]
Roll that stone away,    let the guilty pay
                      G   C                       G
It's Independence Day,       roll that stone away
C                        G   C   G
   It's Independence Day
