He was born on the fourth day of July
DAAsusA
So his parents called him Independence Day
A
He met a girl named Justice

Who gave birth to a son called the Nation, then she walked away
ED
Independence would daydream and he'd pretend
EA
That someday him and Justice and Nation be together again
D N.C.
But Justice held up in a shotgun shack, wouldn't let nobody in
[Chorus]
AAsusA
So Nation cried
DDsusD
Oh, when Nation cried
AAsusA
His tears fall down like missiles from the skies
DDsusD
Justice looked into Independence's eyes
E
Can you make everything alright
D A [slide] Asus A [slide] Asus
And can you keep your Nation warm tonight
[Verse 2]
ADAAsusA
Well, Nation grew up and got himself a big reputation
AsusA
Couldn't keep the boy at home, no,
DAAsusAAsus
He just kept running 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
ED
Independence and Justice, well, they felt so ashamed

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
[Chorus]
N.C. A Asus A
So, Nation, don't cry
DDsusD
Oh, well Nation cried
AAsusA
His tears fall down like missiles from the skies

Can you make everything alright

And can you keep your Nation warm tonight
