Rebels
Written by Tom Petty
Performed by Drive-By Truckers
Intro: C G Am F
C Am
Honey don't you walk out I`m too drunk to follow
C Am
You know you won't feel this way tomorrow
F G
A little rough around the edges
F G
Inside a little hollow
F G
I get faced with something's sometimes
F G Am
That are so hard to swallow - Hey, Hey, 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.
C
Well she picked me up in the morning
Am
And she paid out my ticket
C
Yeah she screamed in the car
Am
And threw me out in the thicket
F G
I never would've dreamed
F G
That her heart was so wicked
F G
But I keep coming back
F G Am
'Cos it's so hard to kick it - Hey, Hey, 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.
C
Even before my father's fathers
Am
They called us all rebels
C
Burned our cornfields
Am
And left our cities level
F
I can still see the eyes
G
Of those blue bellied devils
F G
When I'm walking round tonight
F G Am
Through the concrete and metal.
