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 anyway I can  

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

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

A for 4 bars (Neil does it but Mike doesn't)  

Em D C (4X) 

There's 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  
That's one more kid that will never go to school  
Never get to fall in love never get to be cool  
  
  
(Chorus)  
  
  
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  
  
  
(Chorus)
