Em
Go on and look me in the eye if you think you can

Ever seen a better dead rebel man
G                         C       G
Hey little boy don't you know my name
G                         C        G
Hey little boy don't you know my name
Em
I've been up and down that road before

I've been kickin' up dust before you were born
G                          C      G
Hey little boy don't you know my name
G                         C       G
Hey little boy don't you know my name

[Chorus]

September of 1955
            G
It was 24 years till the day I died
D                                           Em
You know my face from the Hollywood silver screen
C
I was just lookin' for another fast ride
      G
I didn't think I wouldn't make it back alive
D                                      Em
And now you know me as the ghost of Jimmy Dean
         C                D                  Em
I'm the baddest boy that your eyes have ever seen

[Verse 2]
Em
The original rebel without a cause

I was raising hell, I was breaking laws
G                         C       G
Hey little boy don't you know my name
G                        C        G
Hey little boy don't you know my name
Em
I was living fast, and I was dying young
Em
you're never gonna meet another one
G                         C       G
Hey little boy don't you know my name
G                         C       G
Hey little boy don't you know my name
