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.
Am C/D
There`s a grey horse standin` still
C C/D Am F G
As a soldier climbs in the saddle for one last ride
Am C/D
As the rain pours off his hat
C C/D Am C C/D
You can see the shadows of the past written in his eyes
Am G C
Now the cannons are silent
Am G C
His friends are all gone
Am G C
Gotta put it all behind him
Am G F
If he ever wants to find his way home
G Am C/D F G
He`s the last rebel on the road
Am C/D
Just a boy with his old guitar
C C/D Am
Keeps to himself but everybody takes him wrong
F G
But he carries on
Am C/D
Got a dream that will never die
C C/D Am C C/D
Can`t change him, no use in stayin` where you don`t belong
Am G C
Now he`s rollin` down the highway
Am G C
Gone too far too fast
Am G C Am G C Am 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
G Am
The last rebel on the road
F G
There`ll never be another like him
F G
He`s the last of a dying breed
F G
Ain`t no use in tryin` to tame him
G
`Cause he`s the last rebel
Am G C
And he`s all alone
Am G C
He`s the last rebel
Am G C
His friends are all gone
Am G C
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.
