VERSE:
Dm                     F               
Mama always said I was born on the wild 
C  G
side
    Dm                         F          
One foot in the flames and the other trying
             C  G
to walk the line
      Dm
Can't say I never saw it coming
F                        C   G
I could see the warning signs

Mama always said I was born on the wild 
C  G

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

        Dm             F       C  G
Singing oh, when they call me home
         Dm             F       C  G
Singing, oh, when they call me home
                        Dm F C G
Gonna ride the lightning


VERSE:
         Dm                   F           
There's a man in a black coat standing at a
          C  G
crossroads
      Dm                      F           
With a pad in his hands and a long list of 
         C  G
lost souls
    Dm                   F            
They say he flips a coin forged out of 
      C  G
fools gold

         Dm                   F           
There's a man in a black coat standing at a
          C  G
crossroads

           Bb
I hope he lets me pass by
       C
And I close my eyes


CHORUS:
                    Dm
I'm gonna ride the lightning
          F

          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

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