Em            G          D  A
Mama always said I was born on the wild side
  E                                     G        A
One foot in the flames and the other trying to walk the line
   Em
Can't say I never saw it coming
G                D  A
I could see the warning signs
 Em                      G          D  A
Mama always said I was born on the wild side

      C
I guess mama was right
        D
Cause when the clock strikes midnight

         Em
Gonna ride the lightning
      G
Feel the thunder
        D          A
Till the darkness pulls me under

   Em
Gonna fly on
     G
Wings of fire
      D                 A
Pray the good Lord leads me higher

     Em        G    D  A
Singing oh, when they call me home
     Em        G     D  A
Singing, oh, when they call me home
              E   G D A
Gonna ride the lightning

      Em                  G              D  A
There's a man in a black coat standing at a crossroads
    Em                             G       D  A
With a pad in his handsand a long list of lost souls
  Em                       G             D  A
They say he flips a coin forged out of fools gold

      Em                  G              D  A
There's a man in a black coat standing at a crossroads

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


I'm gonna ride the lightning
      G
Feel the thunder
        D         A
Till the darkness pulls me under

   Em
Gonna fly on
     G
Wings of fire
      D              A
Pray the good Lord leads me higher

     Em                G     D A
Singing oh, when they call me home
     Em                G     D A
Singing, oh, when they call me home

 A            Em
Gonna ride the lightning
      G
Ride the lightning
     D       A
Ride the lightning-ing

            Em
I'm gonna ride the lightning
      G
Feel the thunder
        D          A
Till the darkness pulls me under

   Em
Gonna fly on
     G
Wings of fire
     D                    A
Pray the good Lord leads me higher

    Em                G     D A
Singing oh, when they call me home
   Em                G     D A
