Verse 3
B B 
 
Now the rooms are all empty
F# F# 
 
down at Frankie's joint
B B 
 
And the highway she's deserted down to
F# F# 
 
Breaker's Point
B B 
 
There's a lot of people leaving town now
F# F# 
 
Leaving their friends, their homes
C# C# 
 
At night they walk that dark and dusty
B B 
 
highway all alone
F# F# 
 
Well Papa go to bed now it's getting late
B B 
 
Nothing we can say is gonna change
F# F# 
 
anything now
Because there's just different
B B 
 
people coming down here now
F# F# 
 
And they see things in different ways
C# C# 
 
And soon everything we've known will
B B 
 
just be swept away

Chorus 3
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
So say goodbye it's Independence Day
C# C# 
 
Papa now I know the things you wanted
B B 
 
that you could not say
But won't you just say goodbye it's
F# F# 
 
Independence Day
C# C# 
 
I swear I never meant to take those things
B B 
 
away
