      C#m         Bmaj7
I'm a rebel; soul rebel,
      C#m               Bmaj7
I'm a capturer; soul ad-venturer.

B
See the morning sun,
             C#m
(Ah ah ah ah ah), on the hillside,
E           F#    Bmaj7
Not living good; travel wide.

B
Said I'm a living man,
             C#m
(Ah ah ah ah ah), and I've got work to do.
E              F#
If you're not happy, children,
         Bmaj7
Then you must be blue, must be blue. People say;

Chorus:
      C#m                        Bmaj7
I'm a rebel, let them talk, soul rebel.
(Talk won't bother me).
      C#m
I'm a capturer, (that's what they say),
        Bmaj7
Soul ad-venturer, (night and day).
      C#m         Bmaj7
I'm a rebel; soul rebel, (do you hear them lippy?)
      C#m
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
(Ah ah ah ah ah), on the hillside,
E           F#    Bmaj7
Not living good; travel wide.
B                                    C#m
Said I'm a living man, (ah ah ah ah ah),
E     F#   Bmaj7
(Ooh, ooh, must be blue),
If you're not happy; you must be blue.

Chorus:
      C#m         Bmaj7
I'm a rebel; soul rebel,
      C#m               Bmaj7
I'm a capturer; soul ad-venturer. (Do you hear me?)
      C#m
I'm a rebel, (rebel in the morning),
     Bmaj7
Soul rebel, (rebel at midday time!)
