[Verse]
G           Bm
She has the wind as a witness
C       D                    G     Bm C D
She has feelings that fly by night
G            Bm
She believes in forgiveness
C            D                    G     Bm C D
But it's not love if it holds too tight
G           Bm
And you can fly beside her
C             D                        G  Bm C D
But you gotta go where your heart says go
G            Bm
She lets the bright lights guide her
C           D                    G
Through the rain and the drivin' snow
Bm                   C              D
Where she comes from she don't know


[Chorus]
        G            Bm        C
She's a child of the wild blue yonder
D             G    Bm C D
Flying out of here
        G            Bm        C
She's a child of the wild blue yonder
D                  G    Bm C D
Born in an angel's wing


[Verse]
G      Bm
If you see her falling
C             D                G    Bm C D
That's just a little trick she does
G           Bm
She makes a dive for the pain that's calling
C                  D                    G    Bm C D
Then heads for the clouds like a little dove
G         Bm
She can't help her laughing
C         D                G    Bm C D 
She can't stop your crying days
G            Bm
Sometimes it hurts to be having
C       D              G      Bm   C       D
To hold on a love that surely must fly away


[Chorus]
        G            Bm        C
She's a child of the wild blue yonder
D             G    Bm C D
Flying out of here
        G            Bm        C
She's a child of the wild blue yonder
D                  G    Bm C D
Born in an angel's tear


[Bridge]
Em
Medicine woman raised her
Bm
Spirit father praised her
C                              D
Through their love she was set free
Em
From a baby kicking and screaming
Bm
To a full blood woman dreaming
C                      D
With the power just to be

[Chorus]
        G            Bm        C
She's a child of the wild blue yonder
D             G    Bm C D
Flying out of here
        G            Bm        C
She's a child of the wild blue yonder
D                  G    Bm C D
Born in an angel's tear
        G            Bm        C
She's a child of the wild blue yonder
D             G    Bm C D
Flying out of here
        G            Bm        C
She's a child of the wild blue yonder
D                  G    Bm C D
Born in an angel's tear
