[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...
