[intro]
A D E D C#m Bm
A
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 Esus4
Hell bent to make it on her own
A Asus2
We were a thousands miles from nowhere
F#m
Wheat fields as far as I could see
D Dsus2 E
Both needing something from 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
A Asus2
There was a difference in her laughter
F#m
There was a softness in her eyes
D Dsus2 E
And on the air there was a hunger
A
Even a boy could recognize
E D
She had a need to feel the thunder
A Asus2 A
To chase the lightning from the sky
D Dsus2 D
To watch the storm and all it's wonders
E Esus4 E
Raging in her lovers eyes
F#m E D
She had to ride the heat of passion
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
A Asus2
And then I watched her hands of leather
F#m
Turn to velvet in a touch
D Dsus2 E
There's never been another summer
A
When I have ever learned so much
E D
She had a need to feel the thunder
A Asus2 A
To chase the lightning from the sky
D Dsus2 D
To watch the storm and all it's wonders
E Esus4 E
Raging in her lovers eyes
F#m E D
She had to ride the heat of passion
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
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 Asus2
And everytime I pass a wheat field
F#m
And watch it dancing in the wind
D Dsus2 E
Although I know it isn't real
A
I just can't help but feel her hungry arms again
E D
She had a need to feel the thunder
A Asus2 A
To chase the lightning from the sky
D Dsus2 D
To watch the storm and all it's wonders
E Esus4 E
Raging in her lovers eyes
F#m E D
She had to ride the heat of passion
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
D
Rushing headlong in the wind
Dsus2 E
Out where only dreams have been
A
Burning both ends of the night
A D E D C#m Bm

Transpose it down by 2 steps and capo the 2nd fret. This is not only easier to play but more correct. Garth uses the capo version on his Las Vegas live rendition when it's just him and his guitar.
