(Verse 1)
(D) My big brother rode an (G)Indian Scout
(G) It was black like his (D)jacket
(D) American Spirit hangin' (G)outta his mouth
(G) Just like our (D)daddy
He kicked-(Bm)started that bike one (G)night and broke Mama's heart (D)
He pointed that (G)headlight west
(A)Out where the wild things (D)are

(Verse 2)
He'd call me up every (G)couple of weeks from South Cali-(D)fornia
Talk about the desert and the (D)Joshua Tree, and his pretty girl (D)stories
How he bought an (Bm)Airstream trailer and a (G)J-45 guitar (D)
Said, "Little brother, you'd (G)love it out here
(A)Out where the wild things (D)are"

(Chorus)
(Bm)Oh, (G) it's hearts on (D)fire and crazy (A)dreams
(Bm)Oh, (G) the nights ig-(D)nite like gaso-(A)line
And light (G)up those streets that (D/F#)never sleep when the (Em)sky goes dark
(A)Out where the wild things (D)are

(Verse 3)
(D) I called my brother from the (G)back of that plane
(G) The second I (D)made it
(D) We started drinkin' on the (G)strip in LA
(G) And then it got (D)crazy
Ended (Bm)up at a house in the (G)hills with some Hollywood (D) stars
Kissin' on a blonde in a (G)backyard pool
(A)Out where the wild things (Bm)are

Oh, (Bm) (G) yeah (A)

(Bridge)
Couple (G)iron horse rebels, (G)wild as the devil
I knew (A) I had to move back east
Said good-(G)bye to my brother, at the (G)end of that summer
But I (A)knew he'd never leave

(Chorus)
(Bm)Oh, (G) it's hearts on (D)fire and crazy (A)dreams
Oh, (Bm) (G) the nights ig-(D)nite like gaso-(A)line
And (Bm)oh, (G) them Indian (D)Scouts, man, they're built for (A)speed
And oh, (Bm) (G) they said he hit that (D)guardrail at half past (A)three
Lit (G)up those streets that (D/F#)never sleep when the (Em)sky goes dark
We (G)buried him out (D/F#) in the wind 'neath the (Em)West Coast stars (A) - - -
