Lyrics

See the way he walks down the street,

watch the way he shuf fles his feet.

(F#m)Oh, how he holds his head high when (D)he goes walk in’ by.

He’s my guy!

When he holds my hand I’m so proud,

’cause he’s not just one of the crowd.

(F#m)My ba by’s al ways the one to (D)he goes walk in’ by.

He’s my guy!

(D)try the things they’ve nev er done, and (B7)just be cause of that they (E7)say,

“He’s a reb el, and he’ll (Gm)nev er ev er be an y good.

He’s a reb el ’cause he (F7)nev er ev er does what he should.” Well, (Eb)just be cause he does n’t do what ev ’ry bod y else does, that’s no rea son why (Eb)I can’t give him (F7)all my love.

(Bb)He is al ways good to me, (Gm)al ways treats me ten der ly, ’cause (Eb)he’s not a reb el, no, no, no, (F)he’s not a reb el, no, no, no, to (Bb)me.

(Gm)If they don’t like him that way, they (Eb)won’t like me af ter to day.

(C7)I’ll be stand ing right by his (F7)side when they say, (Bb)me.
