The "C/D" chord is of C major form at the fifth fret - where the fifth string
is a "D", hence my naming.  I couldn't find a name for this chord, but it
does work.
 
 
Am                   C/D
There's a grey horse standin' still
C            C/D                      Am                F      G
As a soldier climbs in the saddle for one last ride 
Am                C/D
As the rain pours off his hat 
C               C/D                         Am             C     C/D
You can see the shadows of the past written in his eyes
 
 
Am      G           C
Now the cannons are silent 
Am  G               C
His friends are all gone 
Am    G                 C
Gotta put it all behind him 
Am    G                          F
If he ever wants to find his way home 
G                          Am         C/D    F     G
He's the last rebel on the road
 
 
Am                  C/D
Just a boy with his old guitar 
C                    C/D       Am
Keeps to himself but everybody takes him wrong 
F              G
But he carries on 
Am               C/D
Got a dream that will never die 
C                 C/D                         Am              C     C/D
Can't change him, no use in stayin' where you don't belong
 
 
Am       G                    C
Now he's rollin' down the highway 
Am        G       C
Gone too far too fast 
Am    G               C    Am    G          C       Am  x2
No one will ever find him, he'll never look back 
 
 
(Chorus)
F
'Cause he's the last rebel 
G
And he's all alone 
F
He's the last rebel 
G
His friends are all gone 
F
He's the last rebel 
G                      Am
The last rebel on the road
 
F                         G
There'll never be another like him 
F                        G
He's the last of a dying breed 
F                         G
Ain't no use in tryin' to tame him 
G
'Cause he's the last rebel
 
 
Am  G        C
And he's all alone 
Am    G       C
He's the last rebel 
Am   G              C
His friends are all gone 
Am    G        C
He's the last rebel
 
 
Music keeps going alternating between the Am G C progression and the F G
progression.
 
Johnny throughs some "ohhhoo ohhhhs" in there over these progressions.
Listen to the song...
