Capo 2nd fret
(I'm tabbing this based on the Live Version)
G
I went to work for her that summer
Em
A teenage kid so far from home
C
She was a lonely widow woman
D
Hell-bent to make it on her own
G
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
Em
Wheat fields as far as I could see
C
Both needing something from each other
D Gsus2 G
Not knowing yet what that might be
'Til she came to me one evening
Hot cup of coffee and a smile
In a dress that I was certain
She hadn't worn in quite a while
There was a difference in her laughter
There was a softness in her eyes
And on the air there was a hunger
Even a boy could recognize
CHORUS:
G D C
She had a need to feel the thun-der
G
To chase the lightning from the skies
C
To watch a storm with all its wonder
D
Written in her lover's eyes
Em D C
She had to ride the heat of passion
G
Like a comet burning bright
C
Rushing headlong in the wind
D
Now where only dreams have been
G Gsus2 G
Burning both ends of the night
That summer wind was all around me
Nothing between us but the night
When I told her that I'd never
She softly whispered that's alright
And then I watched her hands of leather
Turn to velvet in a touch
There's never been a summer
When I have ever learned so much
During Solo:
G - C - D - Gsus2 - G
I often think about that summer
The sweat, the moonlight and the lace
And I have rarely held another
When I haven't seen her face
And every time I pass a wheat field
And watch it dancing with the wind
Although I know it isn't real
I just can't help but feel
Her hungry arms again
