[Note] If you can't stretch to the C# note on the A string, here are three easier ways to play this song:
                 -  Play the "D/C#" as a Dmaj7 (xx0222) and "Gadd#11" like this (320023);
                 -  Transpose -2, put capo 3, and play key of C chords;
                 -  Or ignore the notes altogether and play regular open chords.

[Verse]
                          G         Gadd#11   G
My big brother rode an Indian Scout 
                       D    D/C#   D
It was black like his jacket
                          G            Gadd#11  G
American Spirit hangin' outta his mouth
               D     D/C#  D
Just like our daddy
 
[Pre-chorus]
            Bm                   G                        D
He kicked started that bike one night and broke mama's heart
                 G
He pointed that headlight west
 A            A/C#   A     D
Out where the wild things are
 
[Verse]
N.C.                     G           Gadd#11   G
He'd call me up every couple of weeks
                D    D/C#    D
From South California
                                G         Gadd#11   G
Talk about the desert and the Joshua Tree
                      D      D/C#   D
And his pretty girl stories
                      Bm                      G       D
And how he bought an Airstream trailer and a J-45 guitar
                              G
Said, "Little brother, you'd love it out here
A             A/C#   A     D
Out where the wild things are"
 
[Chorus]
Bm G                 D             A
Oh, it's hearts on fire and crazy dreams
Bm G               D           A
Oh, the nights ignite like gasoline
           G                    D/F#                 Em
And light up those streets that never sleep when the sky goes dark
A*                        D
Out where the wild things are
 
[Verse]
N.C.                          G                Gadd#11   G
I called my brother from the back of that plane
               D    D/C#   D
The second I made it
                              G       Gadd#11    G
We started drinkin' on the strip in LA
                   D  D/C#   D
And then it got crazy
 
[Pre-chorus]
      Bm                      G                        D
Ended up at a house in the hills with some Hollywood stars
                            G
Kissin' on a blonde in a backyard pool
A                          Bm
Out where the wild things are
 
[Solo]
| Bm | G | D | A |
 
[Bridge]
Bm G  A
Oh, yeah
       G
Couple iron horse rebels
G
Wild as the devil
    Asus4          Asus4/C# A
I knew I had to move back east
          G
Said goodbye to my brother
        G
At the end of that summer
        Asus4          A*
But I knew he'd never leave
 
[Chorus]
Bm* G*              D*             A*
Oh, it's hearts on fire and crazy dreams
Bm G               D           A
Oh, the nights ignite like gasoline
   Bm G             D                                 A
And oh, them Indian Scouts, man, they're built for speed
   Bm G                         D                       A
And oh, they said he hit that guardrail at half past three
     G                    D/F#                 Em           Em7 Em
Lit up those streets that never sleep when the sky goes dark
     G         D/F#                      Em              A*
We buried him out in the wind 'neath the West Coast stars
N.C.                       D D/C# G
Out where the wild things are
A                          D D/C# D
Out where the wild things are

Just mark out the pre-chorus and then this would be perfect. Good job.
