C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Fmaj9*
[Verse 1]
C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Fmaj9
She comes down from Yellow Mountain
C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Fmaj9
On a dark, flat land she rides
F Em
On a pony she named Wildfire
F Em
Whirlwind by her side
Dm Em (intro lick)
On a cold Nebraska night.
C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Fmaj9
Oh, they say she died one winter
C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Fmaj9
When there came an early frost
F Em
And the pony she named Wildfire
F Em
Busted down its stall,
Dm Em
In a blizzard she was lost.
[Chorus]
F Em
She ran calling Wild---fire,
F Em
She ran calling Wild---fire,
F Em Dm G C (intro lick)
calling Wi----i----ld----fi----i----re.
[Verse 2]
C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Fmaj9
By the dark of the moon I planted
C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Fmaj9
But there came an early snow.
F Em
Been a hoot owl howlin' outside my window now,
F Em
For six nights in a row.
Dm Em
She's comin' for me, I know
Dm Em
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go.
[Chorus]
F Em
She ran calling Wild---fire,
F Em
She ran calling Wild---fire,
F Em Dm G C (intro lick)
calling Wi----i----ld----fi----i----re.
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
She's comin' for me,I know
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go.
F Em
We'll be ridin' Wildfire,
F Em
Ridin' Wildfire,
F Em
We'll be ridin' Wildfire
F Em
On Wildfire we're gonna ride,
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Gonna leave sodbustin' behind.
F Em
Get these hard times right on out of our minds
F Em
Riding Wildfire
