Standard (EADGBE)
for the chorus, then 4 bars of some
varients (
A7) that I just play A for.
One of my favorites - strong lyrics, but simple enough to play after
pouring beer down my throat all night (gotta keep them vocal chords
lubricated, ya know).
ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
Neil Young - Freedom Album
Intro
Verse1
Colours on the street
Red white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan but I'm to them
so I try to forget it anyway I can
Chorus
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
A (7 fr.) x4 (interleave
with
)
Em D C x4 (just like in the intro)
Verse 2
I see a girl in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she's done to it
That's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love never get to be cool
Keep on rockin' in the free world...(x4)
A (7 fr.) x4 (interleave
with
)
x4
Verse 3
not included in the acoustic version):
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder gentler machine gun hand
--->[Here add an additional Em, D and C without lyrics]
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrophone boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn got roads to drive
Keep on rockin' in the free world...(x4)
A (7 fr.) x4 (interleave
