Intro.:  --- | (Em)  | (D)  | (Em)  | (D)  |

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

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

Inst.:  --- (Em)  | (D)  | (Em)  | (D)  | (Em)  | (G) ---

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

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

Inst.:  --- (G) --- | (Em)  | (D)  | (Em)  |

(D) Mmm, oh, (Em)wild, wild, wild rebel (D)rose
(Em) They didn't know, (D) (Em)oooh, (D)yeah, (Em) mmm (D)
