[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
D
My big brother rode
    G
 an Indian Scout
                      D
It was black like his jacket
American Spirit hangin'
 G
 outta his mouth
              D
Just like our daddy
          Bm
He kicked-started that bike
     G
 one night and broke
         D
 Mama's heart
                G
He pointed that headlight west
A                         D
Out where the wild things are

[Verse 2]
                       G
He'd call me up every couple
 of weeks
               D
From South California

Talk about the desert
         G
and the Joshua Tree
                    D
And his pretty girl stories
                 Bm
How he bought an Airstream
               G       D
trailer and a J-45 guitar
Said, "Little brother,
        G
you'd love it out here
A                         D
Out where the wild things are"
[Chorus]
Bm G               D
Oh, it's hearts on fire
           A
and crazy dreams
Bm G             D
Oh, the nights ignite
          A
like gasoline
          G
And light up those streets
       D
 that never sleep when
      Em
the sky goes dark
A                         D
Out where the wild things are

[Verse 3]
D
I called my brother from
     G
the back of that plane
             D
The second I made it
We started drinkin'
        G
 on the strip in LA
                D
And then it got crazy
      Bm
Ended up at a house in the
 G                    D
 hills with some Hollywood stars
Kissin' on a blonde in
   G
a backyard pool
A                         Bm
Out where the wild things are

Oh,  yeah

[Bridge]
       G
Couple iron horse rebels
G
Wild as the devil
       A
I knew I had to move back east
             G
Said goodbye to my brother
G
At the end of that summer
      A
But I knew he'd never leave


[Chorus]
Bm G               D
Oh, it's hearts on fire
           A
 and crazy dreams
Bm G             D
Oh, the nights ignite
         A
like gasoline
    Bm G            D
And oh, them Indian Scouts,
                         A
 man, they're built for speed
    Bm G
And oh, they said he hit that
 D                      A
 guardrail at half past three
       G                  D
Lit up those streets that never
                Em
sleep when the sky goes dark
   G          D
We buried him out in the
                  Em
wind 'neath the West
              A
Coast stars
                          D
Out where the wild things are

[Outro]
D   G
A                         D
Out where the wild things are

How to play Where The Wild Things Are: key, chords and progression

These are Where The Wild Things Are chords by Luke Combs on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Where The Wild Things Are by Luke Combs is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 5 chords in all: D, G, Bm, A and Em.

Listen for Bm – G – D – A (vi – IV – I – V in D major), the “sensitive” minor-start rotation of the four-chord progression, a favourite in ballads and worship: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is lah – fah – doh – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes G, C, Em, D, Am (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
