Independence

Capo 3

   C          G
Patient anticipation
 	 D                  Am7
Up till now I’ve been hurry up and waiting
           C            G                           D
At a bus stop in Independence licking an ice-cream cone
            C                  G
I’ve been kicking I’ve been scheming
  D                       Am7
This is as close as I’ve ever been to leaving
 C                    G                  D
Five blocks away, a stone’s throw from home
     Em  D           C
But I’m as good as gone
             G         D
I gotta get gone gone gone
                 Em          C
Shooting like a gun a gun a gun
                  G           D
Skipping like a stone stone stone
              Em             C
Far as I can run to where freedom is free
           Em                     D                  C
There’s a road like a long gray ribbon far as I can see
 (C)
And it’s pulling independence out of me

Solo  C   G    D
      C                 G
Emancipation or paper chasing
     D                            Am7
Leaving with question marks and Momma’s blessing
             C             G                     D
I put her picture in my pocket along with her rosary
              C                G
Some say I’m crazy, a little loco
     D                                               Am7
And most of my friends will live and die in this zip code
    C            G              D
It might be for me but until I go
      Em   D                 C
How am I ever supposed to know
              G         D
I gotta get gone gone gone
                 Em           C
Shooting like a gun a gun a gun
                  G           D
Skipping like a stone stone stone

                 Em            C
As far as I can run to where freedom is free
           Em                     D                  C
There’s a road like a long gray ribbon far as I can see

Solo   G  D  Em  C x2

       G              D

Independence busting out of me
