Version 1 Version 3[Intro] |C |D |C G/B Am [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] G 'Til she came to me one evening Em Hot cup of coffee and a smile C In a dress that I was certain D She hadn't worn in quite a while G There was a difference in her laughter Em There was a softness in her eyes C And on the air there was a hunger D Gsus2 G Even a boy could recognize [Chorus] G D C She had a need to feel the thunder 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 [Verse 3] G That summer wind was all around me Em Nothing between us but the night C When I told her that I'd never D She softly whispered that's alright G And then I watched her hands of leather Em Turn to velvet in a touch C There's never been a summer D Gsus2 G When I have ever learned so much [Chorus] G D C She had a need to feel the thunder 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 [Solo] C D Gsus2 G [Verse 4] G I often think about that summer Em The sweat, the moonlight and the lace C And I have rarely held another D When I haven't seen her face G And every time I pass a wheat field Em And watch it dancing with the wind C Although I know it isn't real D I just can't help but feel Gsus2 G Her hungry arms again [Chorus] G D C She had a need to feel the thunder 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 C Rushing headlong in the wind D Now where only dreams have been G Gsus2 G Burning both ends of the night [Outro] |C |D |C G/B Am
