Independence Day - Martina McBride

Intro:
[G] [C] [G] [C]

[Verse 1]
Well she seemed [G] all right by dawn's [C] early light
Though she [G] looked a little worried and weak [C]
She [G] tried to pretend he wasn't [C] drinkin' [G] again
But [D] Daddy'd left the proof on her cheek [C]
[G] I was only eight years old [C] that summer
And I [G] always seemed to be in the way [C]
So I [Em] took myself down to the fair [C] in [G] town
On [D] Independence Day [G] [C] [G] [C]

[Verse 2]
Well, word [G] gets around in a [C] small, small town
They [G] said he was a dangerous man [C]
But [G] Mama was proud and she [C] stood her [G] ground
but She [D] knew she was on the losing end [C]
[G] Some folks whispered, [C] some folks talked
But every[G]body looked the other way [C]
And when [Em] time ran out, there was no [C] one [G] about
[D] On Independence Day [G]

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

[Verse 3]
Well, she lit [G] up the sky that Fourth [C] of July
By the [G] time that the firemen come [C]
They just [G] put out the flames and they [C] took down some [G] names
And [D] sent me to the county home [C]
Now [G] I ain't saying it's right [C] or it's wrong
But [G] maybe it's the only way [C]
[Em] Talk about your [C] rev-o-[G]lu-tion
It's [D] Independence Day [G]

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