That Summer

that summer - garth brooks - standard tuning Intro C F G F Em Dm C i went to work for her that summer Am a teenage kid so far from home F she was a lonely widow woman G hell bent to make it on her own C we were a thousands miles from nowhere Am wheat fields as far as i could see F D G both needing something from eachother C not knowing yet what that might be C till she came to me one evening Am hot cup of coffee and a smile F in a dress that i was certain G she hadn’t worn in quite a while C there was a difference in her laughter Am there was a softness in her eyes F G and on the air there was a hunger C even a boy could recognize G F she had a need to feel the thunder C to chase the lightning from the sky F to watch the storm and all it’s wonders G raging in her lovers eyes Am G F she had to ride the heat of passion C like a comet burning bright F rushing headlong in the wind G out where only dreams have been C burning both ends of the night C that summer wind was all around me Am nothing between us but the night F and when i told her that i’d never G she softly whispered that’s alright C and then i watched her hands of leather Am turn to velvet in a touch F G there’s never been another summer C when i have ever learned so much G F we had a need to feel the thunder C to chase the lightning from the sky F to watch the storm and all it’s wonders G raging in eachothers eyes Am G F we had to ride the heat of passion C like a comet burning bright F rushing headlong in the wind G out where only dreams have been C burning both ends of the night C C C C i often think about that summer Am the sweat the moonlight and the lace F and i have rarely held another G when i haven’t seen her face C and everytime i pass a wheat field Am and watch it dancing in the wind F G although i know it isn’t real , i just can’t help but feel C her hungry arms again G F she had a need to feel the thunder . . . F rushing headlong in the wind G out where only dreams have been C burning both ends of the night C F G F Em Dm
