[Verse 1]
---------------------
                           A                                  F#m
I went to work for her that summer, a teenage kid so far from home
                       D                                 E
She was a lonely widow woman, hellbent to make it on her own
                              A                                       F#m
We were a thousand miles from nowhere, wheat fields as far as I could see
                                 D     E                               A
Both needing something from each other, not knowing yet what that might be

[Verse 2]
---------------------
                       A                                 F#m
'Til she came to me one ev'ning, hot cup of coffee and a smile
                     D                                    E
In a dress that I was certain, she hadn't worn in quite a while
                                   A                                    F#m
There was a diff'r'nce in her laughter, there was a softness in her eyes
                          D       E                      A
And on the air there was a hunger, even a boy could recognize

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
                           E       D                                A
She had a need to feel the thunder, to chase the lightning from the sky
                              D                             E
To watch a storm with all its wonder, raging in her lover's eyes
                            F#m     E D                    A
She had to ride the heat of passion,   like a comet burning
                              D                           E
Rushing head long in the wind, out where only dreams have been.
                         A    D A
Burning both ends of the night

[Verse 3]
---------------------
                           A                                         F#m
That summer wind was all a round me, nothing between us but the night
                            D                                  E
When I told her that I'd never, she softly whispered "That's alright"
                            A                                     F#m
And then I watched her hands of leather, turn to velvet in a touch
                           D      E                            A
There's never been another summer, when I have ever learned so much

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
                          E       D                                A
We had a need to feel the thunder, to chase the lightning from the sky
                              D                             E
To watch a storm with all its wonder, raging in her lover's eyes
                           F#m     E D                    A
We had to ride the heat of passion,   like a comet burning
                              D                           E
Rushing head long in the wind, out where only dreams have been.
                         A
Burning both ends of the night

[Verse 4]
---------------------
D E A                        A                                             F#m
     I often think about that summer, the sweat, the moonlight and the lace
                      D                                 E
And I have rarely held another, when I haven't seen her face
                         A                                         F#m
Ev'ry time I pass a wheat field, and watch it dancing with the wind
                         D                           E                         A
Although I know it isn't real, I just can't help but feel her hungry arms again

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
                           E       D                                A
She had a need to feel the thunder, to chase the lightning from the sky
                              D                             E
To watch a storm with all its wonder, raging in her lover's eyes
                            F#m     E D                    A
She had to ride the heat of passion,   like a comet burning
                              D                           E
Rushing head long in the wind, out where only dreams have been.
                     A                               D
Rushing head long in the wind, out where only dreams have been.
                         E
Burning both ends of the night
