This is a legendary song called "rocking in the free world!" with Neil Young!
This is the main riff.
they use it almost the whole song except when they play solo. the solo might come in later, because i havent
had the time to figure it out but my friend knows it and he might come here and help me!
just for those ho dont know so much about tabs.
x = muted tone
here you might think "whats wrong with this dude, everyone can here its 4 times" but there is another guitar
that almost make this go away, but if you want to play this song you dont really need that part (mostly
becaue i cant figure it out).
(part 1)
Play this 4 times
E|-------------------------------|

A|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---5---3------|

Or you can just play this if you are more in to chords (also play this 4 times then switch to the second
part of it.) after i have been listening and playing i have figured out that here the guitars (there are 2
guitard) are playing in different ways, the first guitar is playing the usuall stuff while the second guitar
is playing with the chords. NOTE! this is just the secong part of part 1 (th one we are playing right now)
the first part is just as usuall!

as i said this you play 4 times and the part above 4 times.

the second part (the one that we just played) shall you play while you mute it a bit with your hand so it
sounds not as loud as usuall you can hear it if you play the song.
this is the chorus. i write both the usuall and the chords here, as usuall.
(chorus)
play 4 times.

this is just a bridge while the bass is doing somekind of a bridge solo. actually here the guitar just plays
around but it works this way to. this is much easier for the beginners.

then you play part 1, part 2 and the chorus again.
after that you play the first part of part 1, the first 4 times, and the other guitar play the solo. (wich
will come soon)
now the base plays while the guitar is quiet.
then the guitar plays the 2nd part of part 1, when you have played the 4 times and the other 4 starts. the
guitar plays this when he mutes i with his hand.
now comes the chorus again.
then the guitar plays around when the bass makes the short bridge again.
then you just play the 4 first times out of part 1 8 times. then the song is over. i hope you have had fun
learning this song!
and here is the text for those who wants it!
Theres colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin their feet
People sleepin in their shoes
But theres a warnin sign
on the road ahead
Theres a lot of people sayin
wed be better off dead
Dont feel like Satan,
but I am to them
So I try to forget it,
any way I can.
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.
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 shes gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what shes done to it
Theres 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.
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
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.
