[Intro]
Em D C x4
[Verse 1]
Em D C
Colours on the street
Em D C
Red white and blue
Em D C
People shufflin' their feet
Em D C
People sleepin' in their shoes
Em D C
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
Em D C
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Em D C
Don't feel like Satan but I'm to them
Em D C
so I try to forget it anyway I can
[Chorus]
G D C C Em
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
G D C C Em
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
G D C C Em
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
G D C C Em
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
[Instrumental]
A
(play for 4 bars, interleave A with A7)
Em D C x4
(just like in the intro)
[Verse 2]
Em D C
I see a woman in the night
Em D C
With a baby in her hand
Em D C
Under an old street light
Em D C
Near a garbage can
Em D C
Now she puts the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
Em D C
She hates her life and what she's done to it
Em D C
That's one more kid that will never go to school
Em D C
Never get to fall in love never get to be cool
[Chorus]
G D C C Em
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
G D C C Em
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
G D C C Em
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
G D C C Em
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
[Instrumental]
A
(play for 4 bars, interleave A with A7)
[Solo]
Em D C x8
[Verse 3]
Em D C
We got a thousand points of light
Em D C
For the homeless man
Em D C
We got a kinder gentler machine gun hand
Em D C
Em D C
We got department stores and toilet paper
Em D C
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Em D C
Got a man of the people says keep hope alive
Em D C
Got fuel to burn got roads to drive
[Chorus]
G D C C Em
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
G D C C Em
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
G D C C Em
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
G D C C Em
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
[Instrumental]
A
(play for 4 bars, interleave A with A7)
