G Am F C 2x 

F                  C 
Some prayers never reach the sky  
F                 C   Am 
Some wounds never heal  
F                          C              Am 
They still say someday the South will rise  
               G 
Man, I want to see that deal  

F                        C 
I don't want to grow old gracefully  
F                                C        Am 
I don't want to go 'til it's too late I'll  
F                           C 
I ll be some old man in the road somewhere  
                     Am          G 
Kneeling down in the dust by the side of the interstate  

C G    Am      (C F G) 
I Am A renegade  
C           G     Am         (C F G) 
I've been a rebel all my days  
C G    Am      (C F G) 
I Am A renegade  
C           G     Am         (C F G) 
I've been a rebel all my days  

F                     C 
We were hopelessly outnumbered  
F                        C    Am 
It was a lost cause all along  
F                     C 
But when we heard the bugles call  
   F                   Am     G 
We swore we'd stand or fall together right or wrong  

F                     C 
We ain't seen no reconstruction here  
F                            C    Am 
Just the scorched earth all around  
F                               C 
And the high school band played Dixieland  
                    Am                 G 
While they tore our tattered flags and banners down  

C G    Am      (C F G) 
I Am A renegade  
C           G     Am         (C F G) 
I've been a rebel all my days  
C G    Am      (C F G) 
I Am A renegade  
C           G     Am         (C F G) 
I've been a rebel all my days  

Am F G

F                  C 
Some prayers never reach the sky  
F               C   Am 
Some wars never end  
F                 C 
And some dreams refuse to die  
Am                G 
Next time I would rather break than bend  

C G    Am      (C F G) 
I Am A renegade  
C           G     Am         (C F G) 
I've been a rebel all my days
