(Em D C) 4x
VERSO 1:
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'm to them
Em D C
so I try to forget it anyway I can
[Refrão]G D C Em
KEEP ON ROCKIN'IN THE FREE WORLD

G D C Em
KEEP ON ROCKIN'IN THE FREE WORLD
(Em D C) 8x
I see a girl 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
That's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love never get to be cool
SOLO: base- (Em D C) 8x
VERSO 3:
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder gentler machine gun hand
_
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrophone boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn got roads to drive
