As recorded by Rod Stewart (From the 1988 Album OUT OF ORDER) [Intro] Dm [Verse 1]
Dm                                  Bb
Born and raised in a motel in New Orleans

Dm                                   Bb      C
I ran away with a hobo and his gypsy friends

Dm                                                       Bb
We rode a freight train up to Cleveland, across the Utah plains

Dm                              Bb     C
Proud men, troubadours torn and frayed

F                  Dm
Sleeping under the stars

F                         C
While gently strumming guitars

           Bb
Played the songs of Woddy Guthrie

Bb
And the open road

  C
I knew right then I could never go home
[Chorus]
           F                       C
'Cause the wild horse runs free forever

           Bb                      F
Oh yeah, a wild horse runs free forever

                  Dm
And ever and ever
[Verse 2]
Dm                                         Bb
I met a girl from a family of position and wealth

Dm                                        Bb    C
What a hand this rambler had been finally dealt

F                      Dm
A beauty six years and 10

F                        C
I felt the walls closing in

       Bb
Like a swollen river 'bout to overflow

       C
Like a losing gambler, I kept on rolling
[Chorus]
      F                       C
And a wild horse runs free forever

C
Yeah, yeah, yeah

  Bb                      F
A wild horse runs free forever

                            C
The wild horse runs free forever

C
Yeah, yeah, yeah

  Bb                      F
A wild horse runs free forever

F
Play the guitar
[Guitar Solo] Dm Bb Dm Bb C [Bridge]
F                    Dm
So understand I must go

F                       C
I'll drink you one last toast

    Bb
Oh, here's to the heart

Bb
And the hands of a man

     C
That come with the dust

C
And are gone with the wind
[Chorus]
        F                       C
May the wild horse runs free forever

        Bb                      F
Yeah, a wild horse runs free forever

                            C
The wild horse runs free forever

          Bb                     F
Yeah, the wild horse run free forever
[Outro]
F                                C
Wild guitar, baby, come on, wild

                               Bb   F
I know, I know, I know, I know

F
Play it for me, come on

             C         Bb
Yeah, hit it. Yeah yeah.

F
Let me hear it, yeah

C
  The wild horse run free ...
