       Dm  F  C  G 

 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

                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 

          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 handsand 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
