Rebel (Bryan Adams) ------------------- Album: Into the Fire (1987) Track #7
D/F#GD/A Well he made his way back to the old town, D/F#GAsusA And everything looked just the same, EmBm The shops and the schools and the factories were there, Csus2AsusA But somehow the faces had changed. D/F#GD/A So he went for a walk in the high street, D/F#GAsusA Took his coat off and rolled up his sleeves, EmBm He thought of his father and his father before him, Csus2AsusA And how he was the first one to leave. D/F#GD/A Well he didn't come here for forgiveness, D/F#GAsusA There isn't a lot they can say, BbC Cause I remember the reasons he first ran away.
CHORUS:
D5D5/ED5/F#Gsus He's a rebel, D5D5/ED5/F#Gsus Just a rebel, D5D5/E Got his back to the wall, D5/F#Gsus Gonna fight till he falls, D5D5/ED5/F# He's a rebel.
Don't ever look back - don't surrender, The old men say they've seen it before, Oh they drink their beer and they talk about friends, Who didn't come back from the war.
Don't say he's too young to remember, Don't tell him what's wrong or what's right, Just give him a chance to get out there and fight.
D5D5/ED5/F#Gsus He's a rebel, D5D5/ED5/F#Gsus Just a rebel, D5D5/E All the battles are won, D5/F#Gsus But he's still on the run, D5D5/ED5/F#Gsus He's a rebel.
BRIDGE:
AsusA When it comes time for leavin', AsusA Don't stand in my way, EmG There's nothin' left for me here, AsusAAsusAD9DsusD9Dsus Gonna run - run away.
In the morning he walks passed the old house, In the rain under grey northern skies, There's a new coat of paint on the front garden gate, But there's more there than first meets the eye.
For a moment he stands undecided, Looking back on the days of his youth, As two worlds collide in a moment of truth.
