Born To Be Wild

Words & Music:

Steppenwolf

 

Em

Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin' for adventure

In whatever comes our way

 

PRE-CHORUS:

G     A             E  [etc.]

Yeah, darlin' gonna make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of the guns at once

And explode into space

 

[Em]I like smoke and lightnin'

Heavy metal thunder

Wrestlin' with the wind

And the feelin' that I'm under

 

PRE-CHORUS:

       E                            G

Like a true nature's child, we were born, born to be wild.

Born to be wild. [2x]
