INTRO (4x)
Em  D  C
 
Em                     D C
Colours 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 anyway I can

G       D                   C  C Em
Keep on rockin' in the free world
G       D                   C  C Em

G       D                   C  C Em

Em  D  C

Em                         D C
I see a woman in the night
Em                       D C
With a baby in her hand
Em                        D C
Under an old street light
Em                 D C
Near a garbage can
Em                                  D             C
Now she puts the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
Em                                D       C
She hates her life and what she's done to it
Em                          D           C
That's one more kid that'll never go to school
Em                         D               C
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool
 
G       D                   C  C Em
Keep on rockin' in the free world
G       D                   C  C Em
Keep on rockin' in the free world
G       D                   C  C Em
Keep on rockin' in the free world
G       D                   C  C Em
Keep on rockin' in the free world

Em  D  C

Em                                D  C 
We got a thousand points of light
Em                   D  C 
For the homeless man
Em                      D           C 
We got a kinder gentler machine gun hand
(Em, D and C without lyrics)
Em                           D      C 
We got department stores and toilet paper
Em                           D     C 
Got styrophone boxes for the ozone layer
Em                           D         C 
Got a man of the people says keep hope alive
Em                    D        C 
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive
 
G       D                   C  C Em
Keep on rockin' in the free world
G       D                   C  C Em
Keep on rockin' in the free world
G       D                   C  C Em
Keep on rockin' in the free world
G       D                   C  C Em
Keep on rockin' in the free world
