Chords for Summer Lightning by Garnet Rogers

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] I've had a really tough time for you guys today.
It's always great to be in this place.
Jake and all the volunteers and the whole crew that run this thing here is really one
of the best places to play on the Eastern Seaboard.
I'm just always grateful and I don't know how you guys feel about your role in the whole
scheme of things here. _
_ _ You may think, well, we're just the audience. _
We go out with no money and we sit there and we endure this stuff. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ This is the great part of the evening for me.
The rest of the day is mostly just driving and dealing with traffic and all that stuff
and trying to find something on the radio that's not running a little loud. _ _ _ _
Anyway, what you guys represent for me, you are my beautiful, beautiful reward at the
end of the day.
I'm always just so grateful to be able to still do this.
I thank you for putting up once more.
We'll see you all again. _ _ _ _ _
_ I was driving [E] west [D] through the big, long mountains.
_ [Bm] Hills were heavy [A] with the falling snow.
_ [E] Sun bright blue, [D] dappled like a pony. _
_ [E] I was driving hard, [D] _ _ _
and _ _ _ _ _ a magpie [Em] flew [E] across _ _ [D] the mountain highway.
_ Slashed [Bm] and tumbled [A] to golden trees. _
_ [E] I thought of you, _ [D] my heart was lit.
[Em] Floated with that [Gm] magpie [D] on the morning breeze.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] Oh, where I [E] go, _ _ [D] you go with me.
Oh, [Bm] the miles [A] keep us apart.
All your kisses [E] on my lips.
Your face [D] _ before me, [Em] gentle hand on his own.
[D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Breathe for some lightning, _ _ [A]
swift as falls of [D] lightning.
Sparks that spiral [A] upward in the [Bm] darkness.
_ _ [G] When I'm frost [D] upon a window, _
_ [A] we won't [Bm] pass this way again. _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ And in the end, _ only love remains. _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [E] That hour's moon _ [D] hangs across this valley.
_ [B] I see the hill of shine [A] against the silvery light. _ _
All's the same old moon, [E] _ [D] shines upon you.
It'll [E] light my way until I'm by [D] your side. _
_ _ _ _ Through the sky with these [E] diamonds.
_ _ _ Oh, the diamonds to the vault of heaven.
_ Who drew the [Bm] curve of the [A]
magpie's wing?
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
Who shaped your face, [D] _ who made you love me? _
_ _ _ [F#m] Where's the spark of every [D] living thing?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I don't know, [Em] _ I don't know, I [D] don't care either. _
[Bm] No, you love me.
[A] How could I not see?
_ _ [Em] I am yours now.
[D] Now and forever, until my lips are [E] silent.
_ [D] All's can't see.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ Breathe for some [A] lightning, _ swift as falls [D] of lightning.
Sparks that spiral [A] upward in the [Bm] darkness.
_ When I'm frost [D] upon a window, _ _ [A] we won't [Bm] pass this way again.
_ _ [G] _ _ And in the end, only love [A] remains.
_ [E] _ [Dm] Breathe for some lightning, _ swift as falls of lightning.
[D] Sparks that spiral upward in the [A] darkness.
[Bm] In the night, [E] we are frost upon a window.
[D] _ _ _ [A] We [F#m] won't pass this way again.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
And in the end, only [D] love remains.
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [D] Only love remains. _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [D] Only love remains.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
