VERSE:
Dm F C G
Mama always said I was born on the wild side
Dm F C G
One foot in the flames and the other trying to walk the line
Dm
Can't say I never saw it coming
F C G
I could see the warning signs
Dm F C G
Mama always said I was born on the wild side
Bb
I guess mama was right
C
'Cause when the clock strikes midnight
CHORUS:
Dm
Gonna ride the lightning
F
Feel the thunder
C G
Till the darkness pulls me under
Dm
Gonna fly on,
F
Wings of fire
C G
Pray the good Lord leads me higher

Singing oh, when they call me home
Dm F C G
Singing, oh, when they call me home
Dm F C G

VERSE:
Dm F C G
There's a man in a black coat standing at a crossroads
Dm F C G
With a pad in his hands and a long list of lost souls
Dm F C G
They say he flips a coin forged out of fools gold
Dm F C G
There's a man in a black coat standing at a crossroads
Bb
I hope he lets me pass by
C
And I close my eyes
CHORUS:
Dm
I'm gonna ride the lightning
F
Feel the thunder
C G
Till the darkness pulls me under
Dm
Gonna fly on,
F
Wings of fire

Pray the good Lord leads me higher
