       G, D, C, Em for the chorus, then 4 bars of some A varients (Am, Asus,

  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: Em D C (4 times in total)

  

  Verse1:

  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

  

  A(7) x4 (interleave A with A7)

  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) x4 (interleave A with A7)

  Em D C 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) x4 (interleave A with A7)

  Em D C x4
