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 

G         D                  C     Em 
  KEEP ON ROCKIN'IN THE FREE WORLD 
G         D                  C     Em 
  KEEP ON ROCKIN'IN THE FREE WORLD 
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
