Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

- - - x2

V1:

Some prayers never reach the sky

Some wounds never heal

They still say someday the South will rise

Man, I want to see that deal

V2:

I don't want to grow old gracefully

I don't want to go 'til it's too late

I'll be some old man in the road somewhere

Kneeling down in the dust by the side of the Interstate

Chorus

I renegade

I've been a rebel all my days

I renegade

I've been a rebel all my days

V3:

We were hopelessly outnumbered

It was a lost cause all along

But when we heard the bugles call

We swore we'd stand or fall together right or wrong

V4:

We ain't seen no reconstruction here

Just the scorched earth all around

And the high school band played "Dixieland"

While they tore our tattered flags and banners down

->Chorus

Solo

V5:

Some prayers never reach the sky

Some wars never end

Some dreams refuse to die

Next time I would rather break than bend

->Chorus
