I went to work for [A] her that summer, a teenage kid [F#m] so far from home.
She was a lonely widowed [D] woman, hell bent to make it on [E] her own.
We were a thousand [A] miles from nowhere, wheat fields as far as I [F#m] could see, both needing
something [D] from each other.
I was a lonely girl, [E] not knowing yet what [A] that might mean, until she came to me one evening.
Hot cup of coffee [F#m] and a smile, in a dress that [D] I was certain.
She had gotten worn [E] in quite a while, there was a [A] difference in her laughter, there was
a [F#m] softness in her eye.
And on the air [D] there was a hunger, [E] even a boy could [A] recognize.
She got a need to [E] feel the thunder, [D] to chase the lightning [A] from the sky.
To watch the storm [D] with all its wonder, raging in [E] her lover's eyes.
She had the right to [F#m] heed the passion, [D] like a comet [A] burning bright.
Whistling along [D] in the wind, out where only [E] dreams have been, burning both in [A] the night.
That summer wind was all around me, nothing between us [F#m] but the night.
And when I told her [D] that I'd never, she softly whispered that's [E] all.
And then I felt [A] her hands of leather, turn to velvet [F#m] in a touch.
There's never been [D] another summer, [E] when I have ever [A] learned as much.
She had a need to [E] feel the thunder, [D] to chase the lightning [A] from the sky.
To watch the storm [D] with all its wonder, raging in [E] her lover's eyes.
She had the right [F#m] to heed the passion, [D] like a comet [A] burning bright.
Whistling [D] along in the wind, out where only [E] dreams have been, burning both in [A] the night.

[E] [A]
I often think about that summer, the sweat, the moonlight [F#m] and the lake.
And I have [D] rarely held another, when I [E] haven't seen her face.
And every time [A] I pass a wheat field, I watch her [F#m] dancing with the wind.
Although I know it [D] isn't real, I swear [E] inside I feel her hungry [A] arms again.
She had a need to [E] feel the thunder,
[D] to chase the lightning [A] from the sky.
To watch the storm with [D] all its wonder, raging in [E] her lover's eyes.
She had the right to [F#m] heed the passion,
[D] like a comet [A] burning bright.
Whistling along [D] in the wind, out where only [E] dreams have been, burning both in [A] the night.
Yeah, whistling [D] along in the wind, out where only [E] dreams have been, burning both [A] in the night.
