[Chorus]
A D A
I'm on a steel stallion, rippin' down the long white line
A G F E
I'm on a steel stallion, I'm ridin' but I feel like flyin'
A Dsus2 F
I'm on a steel stallion, a rebel o' the wildest kind
A E A
I'm on a steel stallion (3-beat break) if only in my mind
[Verse 1]
D
I got a woman, she's the best that Heaven ever made
A
She gives me everything -- I feel so adored
D
But when I want a Harley-Davison, she goes all afraid
E
And says "I think you better buckle up and stick with the Ford"
(quiet, crescendo)
[Pre-Chorus]
G/A
That's when I hang a left into my dreams
Bm Esus4
And hit the straightaway and suddenly it seems
[Chorus]
A D A
That I'm on a steel stallion, rippin' down the long white line
A G F E
I'm on a steel stallion, I'm ridin' but I feel like flyin'
A Dsus2 F
I'm on a steel stallion, a rebel o' the wildest kind
A E A
I'm on a steel stallion (3-beat break) if only in my mind
[Verse 2]
D
I bought a dangerous bass and my baby was thrilled
A
She lets me play it in a rock'n'roll band
D
She lets me out with the fans, where I could get myself killed
E
But when I want a motorbike I get a quick reprimand
[Pre-Chorus]
G/A
That's when I hang a left into my dreams
Bm Esus4
And hit the straightaway and suddenly it seems
[Chorus]
A D A
I'm on a steel stallion, rippin' down the long white line
A G F E
I'm on a steel stallion, I'm ridin' but I feel like flyin'
A Dsus2 F
I'm on a steel stallion, a rebel o' the wildest kind
A E A
I'm on a steel stallion (3-beat break) if only in my mind

[Bridge]
F#m
She has a case o' hesitation that I can't seem to shake
B
And so I'm lookin' for an opening, an angle to take
G
A straight line o' logic that don't sound fake
Esus4
She had a Mo-Ped in college! Come on, gimme a break!
