Dm                     F                C  G
Mama always said I was born on the wild side
     Dm                         F
One foot in the flames and the other
                    C  G
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

Gonna ride the lightning

( Dm  F  C  G )

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

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

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

                    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
          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

 G              Dm
Gonna ride the lightning

Ride the lightning

Ride the lightning-ing
