Subject: I've Been A Rebel

I've Been A Rebel
By David Lee Murphy
G
Well dad said son don't you be a fool 
F 
Stay away from that ole brown mule
C                                                      G        
He's mean as a snake and twice as quick

Oh but always the kind that had to be shown
F
I couldn't listen no I couldn't be told
C
Even way back then I had to get my kicks
     G  
c. Yea I‘ve been a rebel and it don't pay
           F
There ain't no future in living this way 
    C                                                           G
It ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to change

Yeah I've done it the hard way all my life
     F
It cost me plenty to many times
C                                              G 
I been a rebel and it don't pay
G
If there's a bump in the road well I hit'em all
          F
You don't really learn till you hit a brick wall
          C
                                                                  G 
Back up and say man I could have gone around that

Yeah sometimes I wish I could just go along
              F
But that hard headed streaks just a little to long
             C                                                         G
Getting first hand knowledge going no where fast

repeat chorus:
