Guitar chords for Born to Be Wild

Born To Be Wild

The song Born To Be Wild uses E, A and D chords - these are the bread and butter chords of Rock!

Like many blues influenced songs, it is actually in the E mixolydian mode. What that means is that it uses the chords in the key of A major, but the song uses E as its anchor tone. This gives it a very bluesy and raunchy sound!

Born to Be Wild - lyrics as I remember them:

Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
And whatever comes our way

Yeah, darling
Gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racing in the wind
And the feeling that I'm under

Yeah, darling
Gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born
Born to be wild
We climbed so high
Never want to die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
