[Intro]
G   G   C   G   G   C


[Verse 1]
G       G       C     G     G    C
   Long hair and  longer stride
Em/B           Em/B          C        Em/B     Em/B     C
   Skateboard affair with the  primal tribe
G           G      C        G       G     C
   And your cut-off painter pants
Em/B       Em/B     C              Em/B         C      D     Em/B
  Chargin down the craggy mountains,   with our thrift-store friends


[Pre-Chorus]
Em/B          D       C        D                     Em/B
  And who you find so,   so in love with the falling earth
        D                         C                  D              G       G      C
Who you wake in the middle of the fallin' night with summer playing coy


[Verse 2]
G           G             C     G     G    C
 And In the attics of the  city night
Em/B         Em/B         C     Em/B
  We talked corso and the M.C. five
Em/B            C         Em/B        C      Em/B
  And you could dance like,   we were all alright


[Chorus 1]
Em/B       D         C          D                    Em/B
  Only the wild ones,  give you something and never want it back
         D            C           D            Em/B
  Oh the riot and the rush of the warm  night  air
           D         C         D                  Em/B
  Only the wild ones,  are the ones you can never catch
         D        C       D                  G          G       C       G       G       C
  Stars  are  up  now, no place to go,   but everywhere


G   G   C   G   G   C


[Verse 3]
G         G        C           G       G      C
  One I met in the green mountain state
Em/B       Em/B         C        Em/B      Em/B     C
  I dropped out, and he moved away
G            G          C        G      G       C
  Heard he got some land down south
Em/B         Em/B       C        Em/B          C      D      Em/B
  Changed his name to a name the birds could pronounce


[Chorus 2]
Em/B       D         C          D                     Em/B
  Only the wild ones,  give you something and never want it back
         D            C           D            Em/B
  Oh the riot and the rush of the warm  night  air
           D         C         D                  Em/B
  Only the wild ones,  are the ones you can never catch
         D        C       D                  G          G       C       G       G       C
  Stars  are  up  now, no place to go,   but everywhere


G   G   C   G   G   C


[Verse 4]
G           G         C      G      G     C
  And in the city the mayor said
Em/B        Em/B       C        Em/B     Em/B     C
  Those who dance  are all mislead
G                G              C              G       G       C
  So you packed your things and moved to the other coast
Em/B       Em/B      C    Em/B        C      D      Em/B
  Said you gonna be  like    Charlie Rose


[Chorus 3]
Em/B       D         C          D                    Em/B
  Only the wild ones,  give you something and never want it back
         D            C           D            Em/B
  Oh the riot and the rush of the warm  night  air
           D         C         D                  Em/B
  Only the wild ones,  are the ones you can never catch
         D        C       D                  G          G       C       G       G       C
  Stars  are  up  now, no place to go,   but everywhere

[Chorus 4]
Em/B         D         C          D                    Em/B
  Only the wild ones,  give you something and never want it back
         D            C           D            Em/B
  Oh the riot and the rush of the warm  night  air
           D         C         D                  Em/B
  Only the wild ones,  are the ones you can never catch
         D        C       D                  G
  Stars  are  up  now, no place to go,   but everywhere
