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
