That Summer

I went to work for her that summer
                          F#m
A teenage kid so far from home
                       D
She was a lonely widow woman
                            E      
Hell bent to make it on her own
Esus4


We were a thousands miles from 
A      Asus2
nowhere
                               F#m
Wheat fields as far as I could see
Both needing something from 
    D     Dsus2   E
eachother
                                A
Not knowing yet what that might be


                             A
Till she came to me one evening
                          F#m
hot cup of coffee and a smile
                       D
In a dress that I was certain
                       E      Esus4
She hadn't worn in quite a while

There was a difference in her 
 A      Asus2
laughter
                               F#m
There was a softness in her eyes
                                D  
And on the air there was a hunger
Dsus2   E

                          A
Even a boy could recognize


      E          D
She had a need to feel the thunder
                                A  
To chase the lightning from the sky
   Asus2    A

To watch the storm and all it's 
D      Dsus2    D
wonders
                     E    Esus4   E
Raging in her lovers eyes
                            F#m    
She had to ride the heat of passion
 E    D

Continues after the ad
                     A     Asus2   A
Like a comet burning bright
                        D
Rushing headlong in the wind
               Dsus2       E
Out where only dreams have been
                         A
Burning both ends of the night


                             A
That summer wind was all around me
                          F#m
Nothing between us but the night
                       D
And when I told her that I'd never
                       E      Esus4
She softly whispered that's alright

And then I watched her hands of 
A      Asus2
leather
                               F#m
Turn to velvet in a touch
                                D  
There's never been another summer
Dsus2  E

                                A
When I have ever learned so much


      E          D
She had a need to feel the thunder
                                A  
To chase the lightning from the sky
   Asus2    A

                     E    Esus4   E
Raging in her lovers eyes
                            F#m    
She had to ride the heat of passion

                         A

                             A
I often think about that summer
                          F#m
The sweat the moonlight and the lace
                       D
And I have rarely held another
                       E      Esus4
When I haven't seen her face

                               A   
And everytime I pass a wheat field
   Asus2

                               F#m
And watch it dancing in the wind
                                D  
Although I know it isn't real
   Dsus2   E

I just can't help but feel her 
 A
lonely arms again


      E          D
She had a need to feel the thunder
                                A  
To chase the lightning from the sky

Out where only dreams have been
                         A
Burning both ends of the night

                        D
