I play a lot in open D, so when I decided to learn this song, I figured out how to play in that tuning. So, this is what I came up with. The top three strings are played open all chords, and make this great drone effect that really captures the tone of this song. could also be played in open E - I think that would be the same key that Neil Young it in. If you have any questions email me ([email protected]).
Open D: D-A-F#-D-A-D
Here's the chords:
Dm - 0-0-11-0-0-0--| C - 10-10-10-0-0-0-| Bb - 8-8-8-0-0-0---| F - 3-3-3-0-0-0----|
DmC - Bb There's colors on the street DmC - Bb Red, white and blue DmC - Bb People shufflin' their feet DmC - Bb People sleepin' in their shoes DmCBb But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead DmCBb There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead DmCBb Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them DmCBb So I try to forget it, any way I can.
FCBb - Bb - Dm Keep on rockin' in the free world, FCBb - Bb - Dm Keep on rockin' in the free world FCBb - Bb - Dm Keep on rockin' in the free world, FCBb - Bb - Dm Keep on rockin' in the free world.
(The same pattern goes for the rest of the song)
I see a woman 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 There'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, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.
We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man We got a kinder, gentler, Machine gun hand We got department stores and toilet paper Got styrofoam 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, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.
