D Em C G
[Verse 1]
D           Em                   C       G
Mama said, "Wild man, won't you listen?
D               Em                      C       G
And come take a seat right here in the kitchen
               D                  Em
You gotta wild heart, gotta sweet soul
               C                     G
Gonna need 'em both, baby, down the road, but
D            Em           C
Right now I need you to listen"


[Chorus]
           D   Em              C     G
She said, "Ooh,   baby, it's a wild world
           D   Em                C    G
And I hope you   find yourself a good girl
        D                    Em
Life is short, some days are long
                    C                  G
You're gonna need a rock you can lean on
D   Em              C     G
Ooh,   baby, it's a wild world
              D    Em C G
So stay wild, man"


[Verse 2]
D               Em                      C      G
Don't put your faith in the green of a dollar
D                   Em                 C      G
And be proud of the blue around your collar
D                    Em
Give a little more, take a little less
          C                       G
You ain't done till you done your best
D               Em                                C
Wear it on your sleeve instead of hidden in your chest, yeah


[Chorus]
           D   Em              C     G
She said, "Ooh,   baby, it's a wild world
           D   Em                C    G
And I hope you   find yourself a good girl
        D                    Em
Life is short, some days are long
                    C                  G
You're gonna need a rock you can lean on
D   Em              C     G
Ooh,   baby, it's a wild world
G
So stay wild, man"


[Bridge]
Am
   Be reckless when you're chasin' love
C
But when you get it hold it like a dove, yeah
D   Em  C   G
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
D   Em  C   G
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh


[Verse 3]
D           Em                   C       G
Mama said, "Wild man, won't you listen?
D      Em            C     G
Every second is God given
           D                       Em
So forgive yourself, you're just a man
             C                    G
And He's too big for us to understand"
D            Em                       C
Mama told me all these things in the kitchen


[Chorus]
           D   Em              C     G
She said, "Ooh,   baby, it's a wild world
           D   Em                C    G
And I hope you   find yourself a good girl
        D                    Em
Life is short, some days are long
                    C                  G
You're gonna need a rock you can lean on
D   Em              C     G
Ooh,   baby, it's a wild world
G             D      Em  C  G
So stay wild, man"
           D    Em  C  G
Stay wild, man
