|D |D |E |E |
stay on E until the end
Note :- Another tab sent to me suggests the outro uses
Bbmaj13#11 Fmaj13 C6/9 D(add9) for the above chords
E (more or less, there are alot of #9's, dominant 7's, and
such in the bass. E5 would be the safest bet here).

You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe your hairs alright
Hey babe let's go out tonight
You like me and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they play it hard
You want more and you want it fast
A D Bm E
They put you down they say I'm wrong You tacky thing you put them on
D E
Rebel Rebel you've torn you're dress
Rebel Rebel you're face is a mess
