1.    Honey, don't walk out, I'm           too drunk to follow,

C                                               - Am

    you know you won't feel this           way tomorrow.

                    F                      G                                - F                     G

    Well, maybe I'm a little rough around the edges,   inside a little hollow,

    F                         G                                  - F                  G

    I get faced with some things sometimes    that are so hard to swallow.

 

               Am                       C

Hey hey hey! I was born a rebel,

             Am                            C

down in Dixie on a Sunday morning.

                    F                      G              F                       G

Yeah, with one foot in the grave, and one foot on the pedal,

                     Am                 C

I was born a rebel, born a rebel.

 

            - C                                                                - Am

2.  Well,   she picked me up in the morning, and she   paid all my tickets,

                    - C                              - Am

    yeah, she    screamed in the car         and threw me out in the thicket.

                 F                        G                         F                   G

    Well, I never would've dreamed that her heart was so wicked,

                  - F                        G                       F                G

    oh, but I      keep coming back, ‘cause it's so hard to kick it.

 

+ CHORUS    F - C     F - G - G7

 

   C                                                            - Am

3.    Even before my father's fathers they         called us all rebels,

C                                           Am

    burned our cornfields and left our cities leveled.

              F                 G                     F                G

    I can still see the eyes of those blue-bellied devils,

                  - F                           G                          F                     G

    when I'm    walking round tonight, through the concrete and metal.
