A
He was born on the fourth day of July

D                             A             Asus  A
So his parents called him Independence Day

A
He met a girl named Justice

         D                                          A            Asus  A
Who gave birth to a son called the Nation, then she walked away

E                                             D  
Independence would daydream and he'd pretend

     E                                                    A  
That someday him and Justice and Nation be together again

    D       N.C.
But Justice held up in a shotgun shack, wouldn't let nobody in

   A            Asus A
So Nation cried 

         D             Dsus D
Oh, when Nation cried

                         A                       Asus A
His tears fall down like missiles from the skies

                        D               Dsus D
Justice looked into Independence's eyes

                          E
Can you make everything alright

                             D       A    [slide] Asus A [slide]  Asus
And can you keep your Nation warm tonight

      A              D                           A       Asus A                   
Well, Nation grew up   and got himself a big reputation

Asus              A                                   
Couldn't keep the boy at home, no, 

D                     A                           Asus        A   Asus
He just kept running 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round

E                                                      D  
  Independence and Justice, well, they felt so ashamed

         E                                              D
When the Nation fell down, they argued who was to blame

    D
And Nation if you'll just come home, we'll have this family again

N.C.  A                 Asus A
So,   Nation, don't cry

         D            Dsus D
Oh, well Nation cried

                         A                        Asus A
His tears fall down like missiles from the skies

                      D               Dsus D
Justice look into Independence's eyes

                          E
Can you make everything alright

                                     D     
And can you keep your Nation warm tonight

Bsus                   B     
Roll a rock around the country, yeah yeah

Bsus            B
Everybody come along

Asus                A 
When you're feelin' down, yeah yeah

Asus           A
Just sing this song, yeah yeah

Bsus     B   Bsus     B         Asus     A   Asus     A
