Rebel Song Acoustic chords by Tina Dico

• Capo on 3rd
• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: Bb

This is a breakdown of the acoustic version on "Welcome Back Colour." The full-band version is basically the
same except the capo is on 4.

Standard Tuning.

Generally the verses are fingerpicked, and the choruses are strummed.

Dadd4 is what I'm calling C chord slid up two frets. When she fingerpicks this, she doesn't hit the high e
string until the very end.




e|--0-----|
B|--3-----|
G|--0-----|
D|--4-----|
A|--5-----|
E|--------|

In general the verses are fingerpicked and the choruses strummed. It's a basic travis-picking pattern.

(This looks complicated by it's just holding a G-chord and walking down and up the b-string every two bars)



Verse 1:

 C G/B   G         Am               Em
Welcome home
I'm amazed you came around
          Am                   Em                Dadd4
You were lost now you've been found in your own dream
   C G/B G            Am            Em
A rebel girl who ran off to join a band
           Am             Em         C                G
Lost her love on one bad hand had a fit and then got banned
              Dadd4
From her own team

Chorus:

          C              G             C             G
Could it be that I know nothing about holding on to love
          C              G                    Am  G/B  C
Like you hold on to the memories that you're most fond of
Am     G/B      C         D     G
Me
I just get bored and wander off

Instrumental Break:

E|---3--3----3--3----3----3---3--3----3--3---3--3----3----3---3----|

(Almost identical to the second half of the intro but the B-string variations are in a different order).

Verse 2:

 C G/B   G         Am                     Em
Welcome back
I'm surprised you look the same
          Am            Em            Dadd4
So much turbulence and change at your door
   C G/B G     Am                  Em
A wary girl no intention to steer clear
           Am        Em
Kept her enemies so near
               Am         Em
That all the good ones disappeared
         C        G                   Dadd4
Leaving only an idea of what good is good for

Chorus:

          C              G             C             G
Could it be that I know nothing about holding on to love
          C              G                Am   G/B  C
Like you hold on to the thread that your life hangs on
Am     G/B      C         D     Em
Me
I just get bored and wander off
       D/F#     G        D/F#
could be the stress I'm under
 A        B       C      D      G
Love can take an awful lot of time
 A      B      C          D
No one would believe me if I
Em          D/F#     G         D/F#     A
Said  ”Just haven't met the right one yet”
        B     C      D        G
They'd say I really must be blind

Chorus:

          C              G             C             G
Could it be that I know nothing about holding on to love
          C              G                Am   G/B  C
Like you hold on to the thread that your life hangs on
               C              G             C             G

      C       G            Am G/B  C
That I know nothing about holding on
                   C              G           C          G
How could it be that I know nothing about no I know nothing about
      C       G            Am G/B  C
That I know nothing about holding on
Am     G/B      C         D     G
Me
I just get bored and wander off
