[Verse 1]
E5 Emaj7 A A A6 A A Asus A
She comes down from Yellow Mountain
E Emaj7 A A A6 A A Asus A
On a dark, flat land she rides
Amaj7 G#m7
On a pony she named Wildfire
Amaj7 G#m7
With a whirlwind by her side
F#m7 G#m7
On a cold Nebraska night.
[Interlude]
Intro/verse with intro lick x2
[Verse 2]
E5 Emaj7 A A A6 A A Asus A
Oh, they say she died one winter
E5 Emaj7 A A A6 A A Asus A
When there came a killin' frost
Amaj7 G#m7
And the pony she named Wildfire
Amaj7 G#m7
Busted down its stall,
F#m7 G#m7
In a blizzard, he was lost.
[Chorus]
Amaj7 G#m7
She ran calling Wild - fire,
Amaj7 G#m7
Calling Wild - fire,
Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7 G#m7 E5 Emaj7 A A A6 A A Asus A E5 Emaj7 A
Calling Wi - i - ld - fi - i - re...
E5 Emaj7 A A A6 A A Asus A
[Verse 3]
E Emaj7 A A A6 A A Asus A
By the dark of the moon, I planted
E Emaj7 A A A6 A A Asus A
But there came an early snow.
Amaj7 G#m7
There's been a hoot owl howlin' by my window now,
Amaj7 G#m7
For six nights in a row.
Amaj7 G#m7
She's comin' for me, I know
F#m7 G#m7
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go.
[Chorus]
Amaj7 G#m7
We'll be ridin' Wild - fire,
Amaj7 G#m7
We'll be ridin' Wild - fire,
Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7 G#m7
We'll be ridin' Wi - i - ld - fi - i - re
Amaj7 G#m7
On Wildfire we're gonna ride,
Amaj7 G#m7
We're gonna lea - ve sod bustin' behind.
Amaj7 G#m7
Get these hard times right on out of our minds,
Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7 G#m7 E5 Emaj7 A A A6 A A Asus A
Ridin' Wi - i - ld - fi - i - re...
E5 Emaj7 A A A6 A A Asus A (End)
