Rebel chords by Bryan Adams

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse:
  D      G        D
He made his way back to the old town
D       G         Asus4  A
And everything looked just the same
   Em               Bm
The shops and the schools and the factories were there
   Cadd9    C      Asus4  A
But somehow the faces had changed
    D       G        Dadd9
So he went for a walk in the high street
     D         G      Asus4
Took his coat off and rolled up his sleeves

A


Verse:
  Em      Bm
He thought of his father and his father before him
    Cadd9      C     Asus4  A
And how he was the first one to leave
     D      G     Dadd9
Well he didn't come here for forgiveness
    D    G      Asus4   A
There isn't a lot they can say
      A#          C
'Cause I remember the reasons he first ran away


Chorus:
    D
He's a rebel
    D    G
Just a rebel
    D
Got his back to the wall
    G
Gonna fight 'til he falls
    D    G
He's a rebel


Verse:
    D    G       Dadd9
Don't ever look back - don't surrender
    D        G     Asus4 A
The old men say they've seen it before
  Em               Bm
Oh they drink their beer and they talk about friends
   Cadd9    C      Asus4   A
Who didn't come back from the war
    D     G      Dadd9
Don't say he's too young to remember
    D        G        Asus4
Don't tell him what's wrong or what's right

A


Verse:
   A#          C
Just give him a chance to go out there and fight
    D
He's a rebel
    D     D   G
Just a rebel
    D
All the battles are won
    G
But he's still on the run
    D
He's a rebel

D  G  D  G  D  G  D  G


Bridge:
Asus4          A
When it comes time for leavin'
Asus4       A
Don't stand in my way
Em               G
There's nothin' left for me here
       Asus4   A
Gonna run, run away

Aadd9 A D Dsus4 D Dsus4

    D     G         D
In the morning he walks past the old house
    D       G       Asus4  A
In the rain under grey northern skies
     Em             Bm
There's a new coat of paint on the front
garden gate
       Cadd9
But there's more there than first meets the
Asus4 A
eye
   D       G    D
For a moment he stands undecided
D            G      Asus4  A
Looking back on the days of his youth
  A#           C
As two worlds collide in a moment of truth
    D
He's a rebel
