           G                      D
Wild rebel rose, the kids used to tease you
           G                       D
Wild rebel rose, every time they'd see you
         Em                            G
in those black turtle necks in mid-Ju- ly
        Em                          G
Wearin' too much makeup 'round your eyes

           G              D
Wild rebel rose, I didn't know you
           G                D
Wild rebel rose, so I never told you
        Em                              G
how I'd watch from the house across the street
           Em                         G
When those blue lights came around at least three times a week
     G                         D            G                       D
It's hard for anyone to under- stand why at sixteen you just up and ran
                Em                              G                         D
But they didn't know you only knew your daddy's love like the back of his hand

  G                                  D
I heard the shots, I saw you hit the door
  G                                        D
I snuck in and grabbed that pistol off the floor
          Em                                  G
Don't you worry they won't find it that's for sure

           G                      D
Wild rebel rose, the kids used to tease you
           G                       D
Wild rebel rose, every time they'd see you
         Em                            G
in those black turtle necks in mid-Ju- ly
        Em                          G
Wearin' too much makeup 'round your eyes
