[A] [D] [E] [D] [C#m] [Bm]
[A] [D] [E]
Verse 1
[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
Verse 2
[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 each other
[A]Not knowing yet what that might be
Verse 3
[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
Verse 4
[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
Chorus
[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 its 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
Verse 5
[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
Verse 6
[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
Chorus
[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 its 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
Verse 7
[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
Verse 8
[A] [Asus2]And every time 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
Chorus
[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 its 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
