[Intro]

[Chorus]
Ride the wild wind
(Push the envelope don't sit on the fence)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ride the wild wind
(Live life on the razor's edge)
Hey, hey, hey
Gonna ride the whirlwind
It ain't dangerous enough for me

[Verse 1]
Get your head down baby (yeah)
We're gonna ride tonight
Your angel eyes
Are shining bright
I wanna take your hand
Lead you from this place
Gonna leave it all behind
Check out of this rat race

[Chorus]
Ride the wild wind (hey hey hey)
Ride the wild wind (hey hey hey)
Gonna ride the wild wind
It ain't dangerous enough for me

[Verse 2]
Tie your hair back baby
We're gonna ride tonight (yeah)
We got freaks to the left
We got jerks to the right
Sometimes I get so low
I just have to ride
Let me take your hand
Let me be your guide

[Chorus]
Ooh, ride the wild wind
(Don't sit on the fence)
Hey, hey, hey
Ride the wild wind
(Live life on the razor's edge)
(Hey, hey, hey)
Gonna ride the whirlwind
It ain't dangerous enough for me

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
Yeah, ride the wild wind
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ride the wild wind
Hey, hey, hey, hey (ha ha ha)
Gonna ride the whirlwind
It ain't dangerous enough for me

[Outro]
Ride the wild wind
Ride the wild wind
(Hey, hey, hey)
The wild wind
The wild wind

Formed in 1970, Queen was a British rock band whose classic line-up consisted of Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and piano, Brian May on lead guitar, Roger Taylor on drums, and John Deacon on bass. Although Mercury and May wrote the bulk of the band’s material, all four contributed to the songwriting, churning out huge hits. Initially a progressive rock band with strong metal influences, their sound evolved dramatically over time. The band went on to refine, if not define “stadium rock,” as they grew to become one of the most beloved rock bands of all time.

Their early progressive phase spawned epic tracks like “March of the Black Queen” and one international hit “Killer Queen.” But it was their 1975 track “Bohemian Rhapsody” which catapulted the group to super-stardom. The song reigned at #1 on the UK charts for nine weeks and has since been praised as one of the greatest songs of all time

Moving away from their album-orientated sound, the band only grew in popularity with such songs as November 1976’s “Somebody to Love,” October 1977’s “We Are the Champions,” January 1979’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” June 1980’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” January 1984’s “Radio Ga Ga,” and many more. These songs are so beloved that a musical based on the band’s discography, titled We Will Rock You, became one of West-End’s longest-running shows with a 12-year run through May 2014—and more events being featured internationally, as well.
