Intro
Em D C x4
Verse 1
Colours on the street
Red white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan but I'm to them
so I try to forget it anyway I can
Chorus
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
Instrumental
(play for 4 bars, interleave A with A7)
Em D C x4
(just like in the intro)
Verse 2
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
That's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love never get to be cool
Chorus
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
Instrumental
(play for 4 bars, interleave A with A7)
Solo
Em D C x8
Verse 3
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
Chorus
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
Instrumental
(play for 4 bars, interleave A with A7)
Em D C x8
