The band became prominent in the Southern United States in 1973, and rose to worldwide recognition before three members and one road crew member died in an airplane crash in 1977.

The Last Rebel by Lynyrd Skynyrd form the recording The Last Rebel
(Gary Rossington, Johnny Van-Zant, Robert Johnson, Michael Lunn)
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.
AmC/D There's a grey horse standin' still
CC/DAmFG As a soldier climbs in the saddle for one last ride
AmC/D As the rain pours off his hat
CC/DAmCC/D You can see the shadows of the past written in his eyes
AmGC Now the cannons are silent
AmGC His friends are all gone
AmGC Gotta put it all behind him
AmGF If he ever wants to find his way home
GAmC/DFG He's the last rebel on the road
AmC/D Just a boy with his old guitar
CC/DAm Keeps to himself but everybody takes him wrong
FG But he carries on
AmC/D Got a dream that will never die
CC/DAmCC/D Can't change him, no use in stayin' where you don't belong
AmGC Now he's rollin' down the highway
AmGC Gone too far too fast
AmGCAmGCAm x 2 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
GAm The last rebel on the road
FG There'll never be another like him
FG He's the last of a dying breed
FG Ain't no use in tryin' to tame him
G 'Cause he's the last rebel
AmGC And he's all alone
AmGC He's the last rebel
AmGC His friends are all gone
AmGC 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...
