      C#m         Bmaj7
I'm a rebel; soul rebel,

I'm a capturer; soul ad-venturer.

See the morning sun,
             C#m
(Ah ah ah ah ah), on the hillside,

If you're not happy, children,

I'm a capturer, (gossip around the corner),
        Bmaj7
Soul ad-venturer, (how they adventure on me, y'all).

B
See the morning sun,
             C#m

Not living good; travel wide.

      C#m
I'm a rebel, (rebel in the morning),
     Bmaj7
Soul rebel, (rebel at midday time!)
