Chords/Tabulature for
Rockin' In The Free World
Submitted by: Tom Lee (rdtlee@sprynet.com)
Notes about this song:
- (These notes from Wolfgang.):
- I've made a few changes to Tom's submission.
- There's a pretty long part in A after the chorus.
Although the guitar clearly stays on that A chord, one
feels somewhat inclined to switch to G sometimes for a
short moment. Personally, I just lift my fingers completely off
of the fretboard (x00000).
- For the electric version: The intro seems to be played with straight
D and C chords, but when this pattern shows up after
the chorus, it seems to be played with bar chords and modified as
(x57777) and (x35555), respectively.
The chords are D6 and C6 then.
- For the acoustic version: tune down one step, and play intro
as Em Em7 D C
Intro: Em D C (4x)
Em D C
Colors on the street
Em D C
Red, white and blue
Em D C
People shufflin' their feet
Em D C
People sleepin' in their shoes
Em D C
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
Em D C
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Em D C
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
Em D C
So I try to forget it, any way I can.

Keep on rockin' in the free world. |above|
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.
(Bass only)
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
(Guitar starts in)
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.
