Martina McBride – Independence Day (Guitar)

           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                                    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                           D  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
On Independence Day

N.C.        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

C                 G                   D (once)
Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay

                  G   C  G  C
It's Independence Day

           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                       D  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
It's Independence Day

N.C.         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)
Roll that stone away, let the guilty pay

                   G   C                    G   C
It's Independence Day,    roll that stone away

                  G   C   G (arpeggio)
It's Independence Day
