That Summer
By Garth Brooks

Intro:        [A]      [D]       [E]       [D]   [C#m]     [Bm]  
I went to work for her that [A]summer
A teenage kid so far from [F#m]home
She was a lonely widow [D]woman
Hell bent to make it on her [E]own    [Esus4]    
We were a thousands miles from [A]nowhere[Asus2] 
Wheat fields as far as I could [F#m]see
Both needing something from each[D]other [Dsus2]        [E] 
Not knowing yet what that might [A]be

Till she came to me one evening
Hot cup of coffee and a smile
In a dress that I was certain
She hadn't worn in quite a while
There was a difference in her laughter
There was a softness in her eyes
And on the air there was a hunger
Even a boy could recognize

Chorus:   She had a need to feel the [E]thunder    [D]  
          To chase the lightning from the [A]sky   [Asus2]       [A] 
          To watch the storm and all it's [D]wonders[Dsus2]         [D]
     (2nd time:  in each others eyes)
          Raging in her lovers [E]eyes [Esus4]        [E] 
          She had to ride the heat of [F#m]passion [E]     [D]  
          Like a comet burning [A]bright[Asus2]        [A] 
          Rushing headlong in the [D]wind
          Out where only [Dsus2]dreams have [E]been
          Burning both ends of the [A]night

That summer wind was all around me
Nothing between us but the night
And when I told her that I'd never
She softly whispered that's alright
And then I watched her hands of leather
Turn to velvet in a touch
There's never been another summer
When I have ever learned so much  [A]     [Asus2]         [A]  

I often think about that summer
The sweat the moonlight and the lace
And I have rarely held another
When I haven't seen her face
And every time I pass a wheat field
And watch it dancing in the wind
Although I know it isn't real
I just can't help but feel
Her hungry arms again

Repeat Chorus

Rushing headlong in the wind
Out where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night   [A]   [D]   [E]   [D]  [C#m]   [Bm]
