Verse 1:
     B            E 
 	 Straight out of nowhere
                                      B
 	 And a little bit out of our minds
                  E  
 	 We were courting disaster
                                 B
 	 With one foot over the line
                  E
 	 It was one for the show
                                  B 
 	 And two for ol' shorty and me
                 E
 	 We were the wild ones
            D        E         B  
 	 We had this town up a tree


Chorus:
                 E
 	 We were the wild ones
                                   B 
 	 The ones they couldn't control
                E
 	 We were survivors
          D            E         B      
 	 Good hearts - body and soul
                 E    
 	 We were the winners
                                        B
 	 'Cause we didn't know we could fail
                 E
 	 We were the wild ones
            D            E           B                         
 	 And we had the world by the tail


Verse 2:
 	       E  
 	 She was a lady
                                  B 
 	 When a lady wasn't easy to be
               E
 	 Hangin' in limbo
                                 B
 	 She started hangin' with me
               E 
 	 We were the music
                                       B
 	 'Cause we had a song we could sing
                 E
 	 We were the wild ones
            D           E            B   
 	 And we had the world on a string


Chorus.

 	          E
 	 We were the wild ones
            D            E           B
 	 And we had the world by the tail
