Wild Ponies

(intro) C G F

C                   G
She was a beautiful girl
        F           C
She was wild as the wind
C              G
On top of the world
F                          C
Till she fell in love with him
F                 G
Everyone told her he was bad news
F                   G
A boy goin' nowhere ain't no good for you

(chorus)
       C    G      F           C
'Cause wild ponies are born to run
                   G
Don't ya know wild ponies
F                  C
Don't belong to no one
             F    G   C
So baby run, run, run away

The first time he hit her
Was right after church
He said he was sorry
But he'd only gotten worse
Now she's not the same girl
That he used to be he's brakin' her spirit
He's fencin' her dreams

(chorus)

F
She went out for groceries

Just an ordinary day
G
She realized she was just

A block from the interstate
F
She sat at the stoplight

The wheel in her hands
G
And when the light changed

She knew this was her chance

Chorus (play chords softly)
