"Rockin' in the free world" written by Neil Young

This tab is the version by Big Country that is on the 
B side of the single "Alone"

It contains two stunning guitar solos, only one of 
which I've got round to tabbing so far.

Verse 1: (Em / D / C)

There’s colors on the street, 
red, white and blue
People shuffling their feet, 
People sleeping in their shoes

There’s a warning sign on the road ahead
A lot of people saying we’d be better off dead
Look like Satan, I am to them
I try to forget it any way I can

Verse 2:

I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand.
Under electric lights, beside a garbage can.
And now she puts the kid away, she’s gonna get a hit
She hates her life and what she’s done to it
That’s one more kid that’ll never go to school
Never get to fall in love and never get to be cool

Verse 3;

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
Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
A man of the people says keep hope alive
We got fuel to burn and we got roads to drive
