[E] [D] [C#m]
[Bm] I went to work for [A] her that summer, a teenage kid so [F#m] far from home.
She was a lonely [D] widowed woman, helping to make it [A] on [E] her own.
We [C#] were a thousand miles [A] from nowhere, wheat fields as far as I could [F#m] see.
Both needing something [D] from each other, [E] not knowing yet what that [A] might be.
Till she came to me one evening, hot cup of coffee [F#m] and a smile.
In a dress that [D] I was certain she hadn't worn in [E] quite a while.
There was a difference [A] in her laughter, there was a softness [F#m] in her eyes.
And on the air there [D] was a hunger, [E] even a boy could [A] recognize.
She had a need to [E] feel the thunder, [D] to chase the lightning [A] from the skies.
To watch the storm with [D] all its wonder, raging in her [E] lover's eyes.
She had to ride the [F#m] heat of passion, [D] like a comet [A] burning bright.
Rushing in long in [D] the wind, that's where only dreams [E] had been.
Burning both [A] ends of the night.
That summer wind was all around me, nothing between [F#m] us but the night.
And when I told her [D] that I'd never, she softly whispered [E] that's all right.
And then I [A] watched her hands of leather, turn to velvet in [F#m] a tug.
There's never been [D] another summer, [E] when I have ever [A] learned some love.
She had a need to [E] feel the thunder, [D] to chase the lightning [A] from the skies.
To watch the storm with [D] all its wonder, raging in each [E] other's eyes.
She had to [F#m] ride the heat of passion, [D] like a comet [A] burning bright.
Rushing in long in [D] the wind, that's where only [E] dreams had been.
Burning both ends [A] of the night.

[A]
I often think about that summer, the sweat, the moonlight, [F#] the lace.
[F#m] And I have rarely [D] held another, when I [E] haven't seen her face.
And every time [A] I pass a wheat field, and watch her dancing [F#m] with the wind.
Although I know [D] it isn't real, I swear [E] to God I feel her hungry [A] arms again.
She had a need to [E] feel the thunder, [D] to chase the lightning [A] from the skies.
To watch the storm [D] with all its wonder, raging in each [E] other's eyes.
