[Verse 1]
     C                      Em
Well future stepped into my field
    F                     F
And turned it in, into an empire
C                         Em
Forefathers where are you now?
     F                        F
Your dust is a-settling on my furniture, oh oh oh oh


[Chorus 1]
C               Em
  Independence Day
  F                    F
I never knew it'd be a-so symbolic, oh oh oh oh
C     Em       F     F
  Independence Day


[Verse 2]
     C                  Em
Well I stepped out of a cloud
        F                            F
And the ditch is a-close, I mean the ditch is a-closing in
C                          Em
  But Hemingway you did yourself justice
   F                   F
So here's to you you articulate dead fisherman


[Chorus 2]
C               Em
  Independence Day
  F                    F
I never knew it'd be a-so symbolic, oh oh oh oh
C     Em         F  F
  Independence Day, day


[Chorus 3]
C               Em

I never knew it'd be a-so symbolic, oh oh oh oh
C     Em         F     F
  Independence Day


[Verse 3]
     C                Em
Well what if I said I loved you
      F                       F
And I needed your guidance to help me through the obstacles?
C                        Em
  Would you say I am too wordy
    F           F
And then, then, would you laugh?


[Verse 4]
     C                        Em
Well what if I said I'm under glass
  F                F
Untouchable as the document itself?
C              Em
Would you say OK
             F                 F
And that you never even, oh considered me?  Oh oh oh oh


[Chorus 5]
C     Em         F  F
  Independence Day, it's independence
C     Em         F  F
  Independence Day, independence
C     Em         F  F
  Independence Day, day


[Outro]
C               Em
  Independence Day
  F                    F
I never knew it'd be a-so symbolic
C     Em     F     F     C
