Neil Young
Rockin' In The Free World
INTRO and VERSES: ----------------- For the verses you basically need: Em, D and C but the strumming pattern and fretting actually involve a G. Here's how to strum the Em measure (intro and verse alike): Em | (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +) DN UP DN UP DN UP DN UP B - $ $ - $ $ $ Meaning it is an Em chord for the whole measure, play only the bass note (the E string) on the first beat (indicated by the 'B' -from Bass- above), the '-' means don't strum on the strings and a '$' means play the chord indicated above (Em in this case). The D and C measure is strummed as follows: D N C N | | | | DN UP DN UP DN UP DN UP $ $ $ $ - $ $ $ Meaning play a D chord for the first beat then on the down stroke of the second beat hit the strings without any fretting (indicated by 'N' above), this would actually sound as a G (especially that you're most likely to hit only the D, G, B and E strings). Then directly play a C chord on the up-stroke of the second beat (in fact you'd ready your fingers for the C chord while hitting the "G chord"). The same trick is done at the last up-stroke of the 4th beat where you, again, play the open strings just before hitting the bass of the Em chord of the following measure (as indicated in the Em measure). 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, any way I can. G D C C/B C/A G Keep on rockin' in the free world, D C C/B C/A G Keep on rockin' in the free world D C C/B C/A G Keep on rockin' in the free world, D C C/B C/A G Keep on rockin' in the free world. A (7 fr.) x4 (interleave A with A7) I see 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 There's one more kid that will never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world. (Bass only) We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man We got a kinder, gentler, Machine gun hand (Guitar starts in) We got department stores and toilet paper Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.
