Once was a legend of old
               G          C
In the time of days long ago
    F          G         Am           G
The clattering beat of a horse on the street
     F               E7         Am
He appeared from the fog like a ghost

Verse:
                 G            Am
I could feel him heading this way
            G           C
A storm was filling the air
       F              G              Am         G
If the truth would be told, when the winds blow cold
        F           E7   Am
They're warning you to beware

E   F   G    F      E
No, the wild cannot be tamed

   Am            G        Am
We wondered what devil is this
                 G          C
Who appears from out of the mist
       F          G          Am          G
With a crack of a whip and a wave of his fist
       F          E7      Am
He was cursed and I was bewitched

Verse:
Am         G         Am
Haunted by seeing his face
                    G             C
Through the mirror, smoke and the haze
F          G               Am      G
So hard to see through the dark mystery
      F          E7         Am
The illusion was part of his game

Chorus:
E   F   G    F      E
No, the wild cannot be tamed
   F   G  F  Dm
Keeper of the flame

Verse:
   Am         G         Am
Be careful of what you wish for
                      G              C
And make sure when it knocks at your door
      F           G          Am       G
It'll be what you need, not some fantasy
          F            E7   Am
That will haunt you forever more
       F           G          Am       G
Let it be what you need, not some fantasy
          F            E7   Am
That will haunt you forever more
