Garth Brooks – That Summer (Guitar)

                            G
I went to work for her that summer

                          Em
A teenage kid so far from home

                       C
She was a lonely widow woman

                            D
Hell-bent to make it on her own

                              G
We were a thousand miles from nowhere

                               Em
Wheat fields as far as I could see

                                 C
Both needing something from each other

 D    Gsus2                       G
Not knowing yet what that might be

                            G
'Til she came to me one evening

                          Em
Hot cup of coffee and a smile

                       C
In a dress that I was certain

                            D
She hadn't worn in quite a while

                            G
There was a difference in her laughter

                          Em
There was a softness in her eyes

                       C
And on the air there was a hunger

 D    Gsus2              G
Even a boy could recognize

G                          D   C
She had a need to feel the thunder

                                G
To chase the lightning from the skies

                              C
To watch a storm with all its wonder

                       D
Raging in her lover's eyes

                            Em        D  C
She had to ride the heat of passion

                     G
Like a comet burning bright

                        C
Rushing headlong in the wind

                           D
Now where only dreams have been

                         G       Gsus2 G
Burning both ends of the night

                            G
That summer wind was all around me

                          Em
Nothing between us but the night

                       C
When I told her that I'd never

                            D
She softly whispered that's alright

                            G
And then I watched her hands of leather

                          Em
Turn to velvet in a touch

                       C
There's never been a summer

D            Gsus2              G
When I have ever learned so much

G                          D   C
She had a need to feel the thunder

                                G
To chase the lightning from the skies

                              C
To watch a storm with all its wonder

                       D
Raging in her lover's eyes

                            Em        D  C
She had to ride the heat of passion

                     G
Like a comet burning bright

                        C
Rushing headlong in the wind

                           D
Now where only dreams have been

                         G       Gsus2 G
Burning both ends of the night

                            G
I often think about that summer

                          Em
The sweat, the moonlight and the lace

                       C
And I have rarely held another

                            D
When I haven't seen her face

                            G
And every time I pass a wheat field

                          Em
And watch it dancing with the wind

                       C
Although I know it isn't real

                       D
I just can't help but feel

       Gsus2       G
Her hungry arms again

G                          D   C
She had a need to feel the thunder

                                G
To chase the lightning from the skies

                              C
To watch a storm with all its wonder

                       D
Written in her lover's eyes

                            Em        D  C
She had to ride the heat of passion

                     G
Like a comet burning bright

                        C
Rushing headlong in the wind

                           D
Now where only dreams have been

                         G       Gsus2 G
Burning both ends of the night

                        C
Rushing headlong in the wind

                           D
Now where only dreams have been

                         G       Gsus2 G
Burning both ends of the night
