 She  comes  down from Yellow  Mountain
  On  a dark,  flat land she rides
   On a pony she named Wildfire
   Whirlwind by her side
 
   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.
 She  ran calling  Wild---fire,
 Calling  Wild---fire,
B
Amaj7
Calling Wi----i----ld----fi----i----re.
  By  the dark  of the moon I planted
  But  there came  an early snow.
   Been a hoot owl howlin' outside  my window now,
   For six nights in a row.
   She's comin' for me, I know
 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.
 Here's how I play the chords. Your mileage may vary.
