Rebel

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.

He's a rebel,
        D5     D/E    D/F#   Gsus
Just a rebel,
         D5          D/E 
Got his back to the wall,
D/F#     Gsus
Gonna fight till he falls,
        D5     D/E    D/F# 
He's a rebel.
       D/F#        G            D/A
Don't ever look back - don't surrender,
D/F#                  G              Asus   A
The old men say they've seen it before,
     Em                           Bm
Oh they drink their beer and they talk about friends,
       Csus2                      Asus   A
Who didn't come back from the war.
         D/F#         G            D/A
Don't say he's too young to remember,
       D/F#     G           Asus    A
Don't tell him what's wrong or what's right,
   Bb                     C
Just give him a chance to get out there and fight.
        D5     D/E    D/F#   Gsus
He's a rebel,
        D5     D/E    D/F#   Gsus
Just a rebel,
         D5          D/E 
All the battles are won,
D/F#       Gsus
But he's still on the run,
        D5     D/E    D/F#   Gsus
He's a rebel.

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.
       D/F#        G            D/A
In the morning he walks passed the old house,
D/F#                  G              Asus   A
In the rain under grey northern skies,
     Em                           Bm
There's a new coat of paint on the front garden gate,
       Csus2                      Asus   A
But there's more there than first meets the eye.
         D/F#         G        D/A
For a moment he stands undecided,
       D/F#     G           Asus    A
Looking back on the days of his youth,
   Bb                     C
As two worlds collide in a moment of truth.
