Rebel

D/F# G D/A Well he made his way back to the old town, D/F# G Asus A And everything looked just the same, Em Bm The shops and the schools and the factories were there, Csus2 Asus A But somehow the faces had changed. D/F# G D/A So he went for a walk in the high street, D/F# G Asus A Took his coat off and rolled up his sleeves, Em Bm He thought of his father and his father before him, Csus2 Asus A And how he was the first one to leave. D/F# G D/A Well he didn't come here for forgiveness, D/F# G Asus A There isn't a lot they can say, Bb C Cause I remember the reasons he first ran away. D5 D5/E D5/F# Gsus He's a rebel, D5 D5/E D5/F# Gsus Just a rebel, D5 D5/E Got his back to the wall, D5/F# Gsus Gonna fight till he falls, D5 D5/E D5/F# He's a rebel. -------------- Don't ever look back - don't surrender, The old men say they've seen it before, Oh they drink their beer and they talk about friends, Who didn't come back from the war. -------------- Don't say he's too young to remember, Don't tell him what's wrong or what's right, Just give him a chance to get out there and fight. -------------- D5 D5/E D5/F# Gsus He's a rebel, D5 D5/E D5/F# Gsus Just a rebel, D5 D5/E All the battles are won, D5/F# Gsus But he's still on the run, D5 D5/E D5/F# Gsus He's a rebel. Asus A When it comes time for leavin', Asus A Don't stand in my way, Em G There's nothin' left for me here, Asus A Asus A D9 Dsus D9 Dsus Gonna run - run away. -------------- In the morning he walks passed the old house, In the rain under grey northern skies, There's a new coat of paint on the front garden gate, But there's more there than first meets the eye. -------------- For a moment he stands undecided, Looking back on the days of his youth, As two worlds collide in a moment of truth.
