(N.C)                      A
I went to work for her that summer
F#m
A teenage kid so far from home
D
She was a lonely widowed woman
E     Esus
Hellbent to make it on her own
A        Asus
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
F#m
Wheat fields as far as I could see
D      Dsus
Both needin' somethin' from eachother
E                               A      Asus A
Not knowing yet what that might be

verse II
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
She hadn't worn in quite a while
A
There was a difference in her laughter
F#m
There was a softness in her eyes
D
And on the air there was a hunger
E                     A
Even a boy could recognize

chorus
E      D
She had a need to feel the thunder
A
To chase the lightning from the skies
D
To watch a storm in all it's wonder
E
Ragin' in her lovers eyes
F#m     E   D
She had to ride the heat of passion
A
Like a comet burnin' bright
D
Rushing head-long in the wind
E
Out where only dreams have been
A      D    A
Burnin' both ends of the night


verse III

The summer wind was all around us
Nothin' between us but the night
And when I told her that I never
She softly whispered, "That's alright"
And then I watched her hands of leather

I often think about that summer
The sweat the moonlight and the lace
Har.

And I've rarely held another

Every time I pass a wheatfield
