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 Nation, then she walked away

E                                             D  E
Independence, would daydream and he'd pretend
E                                                         A  D
That someday him and Justice and Nation be together again
(NC)
But Justice held up in a shotgun shack, wouldn't let nobody in
                   A  Asus
So the Nation cried 

                 D      Dsus D
Oh, when a Nation cried
                              A                Asus A
His tears fall down like missiles from the skies
                        D            Dsus D
Justice look into Independences' eyes
                        E
Can you make everything alright
                                D        A [slide] Asus A [slide]
And can you keep your Nation warm tonight

A               D                                  A  Asus A                   
Well, Nation grew up and got himself a big reputation
A                                   
Couldn't keep the boy at home, no, no
D                            A                      Asus      A
He just kept running 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round

E                                                    D  E
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
(NC)                 A  Asus A
So, Nation, don't cry

                 D      Dsus D
Oh, when a Nation cried
                              A                Asus A
His tears fall down like missiles from the skies
                        D            Dsus D
Justice look into Independences' eyes
                        E
Can you make everything alright
                                     D     
And can you keep your Nation warm tonight
