D/F# G D/A So he went for a walk in the high street, D/F# G AsAs Took his coat off and rolled up his sleeves, Em Bm He thought of his father and his father before him, Csus2 AsusA 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 AsuA There isn't a lot they can say, Bb C Cause I remember the reasons he first ran away. CHORUS: D5 Gsus# He's a rebel, D5 Gsus# Just a rebel, D5 D5/E Got his back to the wall, D5/F# Gsus Gonna fight till he falls, D5 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 Gsus# He's a rebel, D5 Gsus# Just a rebel, D5 D5/E All the battles are won, D5/F# Gsus But he's still on the run, D5 Gsus# He's a rebel. BRIDGE: 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, AsusDsus 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. CHORUS
