Chords

Such an incredible, ambiguous song. However you interpret it, I hope you enjoy playing it. [Intro] | Em C | G G/F# | Em [Verse 1]
Em                         C     G
Tell your folks that I get out today

        G/F# Em
And how your man thirsts

    C       G          G/F#
And how his mind works

    Em                      C       G
And tell the kids that I am here to stay

         G/F# Em
And tell your new one

     C     G
That he is my son
[Chorus]
 Am7   Am7/B C     D
(Oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,)

Em                      G                C          G
Can't you feel it? Your hometown hero is home, babe

 Am7   Am7/B C     D     E
(Oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,)

G          C           G
  It's Independence Day
[Verse 2]
Em                         C       G
Can't you see the rockets, the red glare?

        G/F# Em
And all her  dreamers

    C     G
And party streamers

Em                               C  G
I'd rather be with you here than anywhere

        G/F#   Em
It felt like a century

       C   G
In the penitentiary
[Chorus]
 Am7   Am7/B C     D
(Oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,)

Em                      G                C          G
Can't you feel it? Your hometown hero is home, babe

 Am7   Am7/B C     D     E
(Oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,)

G          C           G
  It's Independence Day
[Outro]
Em                      G                C          G  G/F#
Can't you feel it? Your hometown hero is home, babe

Em                       G
Can almost taste it, the whole town's amazin'

C                  G           G/F#
Threw your man his own parade

Em                      G
You crack one face at a Pirates game

           C                           G             G/F#
They don't care who you are, they just put you away

Em                      G                  C       G
Can't you feel it? That hometown spirit is ho~ome, babe

 Am7   Am7/B C     D     E
(Oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,)

G          C           G
  It's Independence Day
