The "C/D" chord is of C major form at the fifth fret — where the fifth string
is a "D", hence my naming.  I couldn't find a name for this chord, but it
does work.  



Am                   C/D
There's a grey horse standin' still

C            C/D                      Am                F      G
As a soldier climbs in the saddle for one last ride 

Am                C/D
As the rain pours off his hat 

C               C/D                         Am             C     C/D
You can see the shadows of the past written in his eyes


Am      G           C
Now the cannons are silent 

Am  G               C
His friends are all gone 

Am    G                 C
Gotta put it all behind him 

Am    G                          F
If he ever wants to find his way home 

G                          Am         C/D    F     G
He's the last rebel on the road


Am                  C/D
Just a boy with his old guitar 

C                    C/D       Am
Keeps to himself but everybody takes him wrong 

F              G
But he carries on 

Am               C/D
Got a dream that will never die 

C                 C/D                         Am              C     C/D
Can't change him, no use in stayin' where you don't belong


Am       G                    C
Now he's rollin' down the highway 

Am        G       C
Gone too far too fast 

Am    G               C    Am    G          C       Am x 2
No one will ever find him, he'll never look back 



(chorus) 
F
'Cause he's the last rebel 

G
And he's all alone 

F
He's the last rebel 

G
His friends are all gone 

F
He's the last rebel 

G                      Am
The last rebel on the road


F                         G
There'll never be another like him 

F                        G
He's the last of a dying breed 

F                         G
Ain't no use in tryin' to tame him 

G
'Cause he's the last rebel



Am  G        C
And he's all alone 

Am    G       C
He's the last rebel 

Am   G              C
His friends are all gone 

Am    G        C
He's the last rebel


Music keeps going alternating between the Am G C progression and the F G
progression.

Johnny throughs some "ohhhoo ohhhhs" in there over these progressions.
Listen to the song...
