The "C/D" chord is of C major form at the fifth fret - where the fifth string
is a "D", hence my naming. I couldn't find a name for this chord, but it
does work.
Am C/D
There's a grey horse standin' still
C C/D Am F G
As a soldier climbs in the saddle for one last ride
Am C/D
As the rain pours off his hat
C C/D Am C C/D
You can see the shadows of the past written in his eyes
Am G C
Now the cannons are silent
Am G C
His friends are all gone
Am G C
Gotta put it all behind him
Am G F
If he ever wants to find his way home

G Am C/D F G
He's the last rebel on the road
Am C/D
Just a boy with his old guitar
C C/D Am
Keeps to himself but everybody takes him wrong
F G
But he carries on
Am C/D
Got a dream that will never die
C C/D Am C C/D
Can't change him, no use in stayin' where you don't belong
Am G C
Now he's rollin' down the highway
Am G C
Gone too far too fast
Am G C Am G C Am x 2
No one will ever find him, he'll never look back
(chorus)
F
'Cause he's the last rebel
G
And he's all alone
F
He's the last rebel
G
His friends are all gone
F
He's the last rebel
G Am
The last rebel on the road
F G
There'll never be another like him
F G
He's the last of a dying breed
F G
Ain't no use in tryin' to tame him
G
'Cause he's the last rebel
Am G C
And he's all alone
Am G C
He's the last rebel
Am G C
His friends are all gone
Am G C
He's the last rebel
Music keeps going alternating between the Am G C progression and the F G
progression.
Johnny throughs some "ohhhoo ohhhhs" in there over these progressions.
Listen to the song...
