          E   Emaj7            F#m
She comes down     from Yellow Mountain
E      Emaj7               F#m
  On a dark, flat land she rides
Amaj7                    G#m
     On a pony she named Wildfire
Amaj7                 G#m
     Whirlwind by her side
F#m                   G#m     (intro lick)
   On a cold Nebraska night.


Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came an early frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down its stall,
In a blizzard she was lost.

                Amaj7  G#m
She ran calling Wild---fire,
        Amaj7  G#m
Calling Wild---fire,
        Amaj7 G#m        F#m   B    Amaj7  (intro lick)
Calling Wi----i----ld----fi----i----re.


E       Emaj7              F#m
 By the dark of the moon I planted
E          Emaj7         F#m
 But there came an early snow.
Amaj7                           G#m
     Been a hoot owl howlin' outside my window now,
Amaj7                    G#m
     For six nights in a row.
F#m                       G#m
   She's comin' for me, I know
       F#m                       G#m
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go.


We'll be ridin' Wildfire,
Ridin' Wildfire,
We'll be ridin' Wildfire
On Wildfire we're gonna ride,
Gonna leave sodbustin' behind.
Get these hard times right on out of our minds,
Ridin' Wildfire.

CRD: "Wildfire" - Michael Murphy

The first part of the intro in this song is free flowing piano.
Guitar immitation doesn't work. It's best to go straight to the guitar 
intro.

Intro

E    Emaj7     A    Repeat 4 times

          E Emaj7        A
She comes      down from Yellow    Mountain

E         Emaj7          A
     on a dark flat land she  rides

Amaj7                    G#m
     on a pony she named      "Wildfire"

Amaj7          G#m
whirlwind by her    side

F#m            G#m
     on a cold Nebraska night

Intro here - twice only

     E Emaj7             A
Oh, they say   she died one   winter

E              Emaj7          A
     when there     came a killing      frost

Amaj7                    G#m
     and the pony she named   "Wildfire"

Amaj7          G#m
busted down his     stall

F#m                 G#m
     in a blizzard she was    lost

Chorus:

          Amaj7     G#m
She ran calling,    "Wild     fire"

     Amaj7     G#m
calling   "Wild     fire"

     Amaj7     G#m       F#m  B
calling   "Wild               fire_____"


Intro chords here - twice only

Last verse chords as for first verse

So by the dark of the moon I planted
but there came an early snow
Been a hoot owl howling outside my window now
'bout six nights in a row
She's coming for me I know
and on "Wildfire"
we're both gonna go

          Amaj7     G#m
We'll be riding          "Wild     fire"
          Amaj7     G#m
riding         "Wild     fire"
          Amaj7     G#m
riding         "Wild     fire"
     Amaj7     G#m
On   "Wild     fire"
          Amaj7     G#m
riding         "Wild     fire"
     Amaj7     G#m  F#m  B
riding    "Wild          fi - re"
