"Independence Grove" Original song.

I got the idea for this song from the title of an instrumental posted by my friend John Leon (namnoiz). Independence grove is a visitors centre near Libertyville, West of North Chicago more than that I do not know so my apologies for any geographical or pronunciation errors, I got my information from a map. Independence Grove
By
C J Gregg

G C
Early in the morning on the road from Sister Bay
G D
Heading for Algoma next stop along the way
G C
Got into Kaukauna just as we lost the light
D C G
Then slowly into Stockbridge to set up for the night
G C
Down by the lakeside we found the harbour bar
G D
Man behind the counter said have you all come far?
G C
We said we sure have but we've still some miles to go
D C G
We're on our way to Independence Grove
Chorus
D C




It's a long, long road but worth travelling every mile
D C G
At Independence Grove they meet you with a smile
G C
Then across to Sheboygan we had to make our mark
G D
We pulled up at a restaurant just beside Settlers park
G C
Then back behind the wheel we took the 43
D C G
And joined the 57 on the road to Milwaukee
G C
Took the Skokie highway just to miss the Tri-state toll
G D
Headed into Gurnee for an early evening stroll
G C
Made a left on Grand drove past the Hinkston park
D C G
Travelled into Waukegan to see my old friend John
Chorus
G C
Along the Belvidere underneath the toll way road
G D
Past River hill forest not too far to go
G C
Across the river bridge onto the 21
D C G
Just a few more miles now to Independence Grove
Chorus
