Capo on 3

[G][D][G][D][G][D][A][G]

[G] Papa go to bed now it's [D] getting late

Nothing we can [G] say is gonna change anything [D] now

I'll be [G] leaving in the morning from St. [D] Mary's Gate

We wouldn't [A] change this thing even if we could [G] somehow

`Cause the [G] darkness of this house has got the [D] best of us

There's a [G] darkness in this town that's got us [D] too

But they can't [G] touch me now and you can't [D] touch me now

They ain't gonna [A] do to me what I watched them do to [G] you

So say goodbye it's Inde-[D]-pendence Day

It's Inde-[A]-pendence Day all down the [G] line

Just say goodbye it's Inde-[D]-pendence Day

It's Inde-[A]-pendence Day this [G] time

Now I don't know what it always [D] was with us

We chose the [G] words and yeah we drew the [D] lines

There was [G] just no way this house could hold the [D] two of us

I guess that [A] we were just too much of the same [G] kind

Well say goodbye it's Inde-[D]-pendence Day

All boys must [A] run away come Inde-[G]-pendence Day

So say goodbye it's Inde-[D]-pendence Day

All men must [A] make their way come Inde-[G]-pendence Day

Now the rooms are all empty down at [D] Frankie's joint

And the [G] highway she's deserted down to [D] Breaker's Point

There's a lot of [G] people leaving town now

Leaving their [D] friends their homes

At night they [A] walk that dark and dusty highway [G] all alone

Well Papa go to bed now it's [D] getting late

Nothing we can [G] say can change anything [D] now

Because there's just different [G] people coming down here now

And they see things in [D] different ways

And soon [A] everything we've known will just be [G] swept away

So say goodbye it's Inde-[D]-pendence Day

Papa now I [A] know the things you wanted that you [G] could not say

But won't you just say goodbye it's Inde-[D]-pendence Day

I swear I [A] never meant to take those things a-[G]-way
