REBELS by TOM PETTY from the album SOUTHERN ACCENTS
—————————————————
Intro: C G Am F
C Am
Honey don’t walk out I`m too drunk to follow
C Am
You know you won’t feel this way tomorrow
F G
Well — maybe I’m a little rough around the edges
F G
Inside a little hollow
F G
I get faced with somethings sometimes
F G Am
That are so hard to swallow — Hey !
Chorus:
C
I was born a rebel
Am C
Down in Dixie on a Sunday morning
F G
Yeah — with one foot in the grave
F G
And one foot on the pedal
Am
I was born a rebel.
Well she picked me up in the morning
And she payed out my ticket
Yeah she screamed in the car
And threw me out in the thicket
Well — I never would’ve dreamed
That her heart was so wicked
Oh — but I keep coming back
‘Cos it’s so hard to kick it.
(Chorus)
Even before my father’s fathers
They called us all rebels
Burned our cornfields
And left our cities level
I can still see the eyes
Of those blue bellied devils
When I’m walking round tonight
Through the concrete and metal.
I can post chords for stacks more Tom Petty if anyones interested —
most of them though (including this !) are normally fairly simple
to get the general feel.
Shaun.
