[G]
Some prayers [D] never reach the sky, [G]
some wounds [D] never [Bm] heal.
[F#m] [G] They still say [D] someday the south will rise, and man I [A] want to see that deal.

[D] [G] I don't want to grow [D] gracefully, [E]
[G] I don't want to go [A] to live too [Bm] late.
[F#m]
[G] I'll be some old man in the [D] road somewhere, kneeling down in the dust [A] by the side of the interstate.
[D] I [A] am [Bm] a renegade, [D] [G] [A]
[D] and I've [A] been a rebel [Bm] all my days.

We were hopelessly [D] outnumbered,
[G] [D] [G] it was a lost [A] cause [Bm] all along.
[G] But when we heard the bugle's [D] call, we swore we'd stand or fall, [A] together right or wrong.
[G] And we ain't seen no [D] reconstruction here,
[G] just the [A] scorched earth [Bm] all around.
[G] And the high school band [D] played Dixieland, while they tore our tattered [A] flags and banners down.
[D] I [A] am [Bm] a renegade, [D] [G]
[A] [Dm] and [A] I've been a rebel [Bm] all my days.
[D] [G]
