That Summer
Recorded by Garth Brooks
Written by Pat Alger, Sandy Mahl, Garth Brooks
G
I went to work for her that summer
Em
A teenage kid so far from home
C
She was a lonely widow woman
D7
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
D7 G
Not knowing yet what that might be
Till she came to me one evening
Em
Hot cup of coffee and a smile
C
In a dress that I was certain
D7
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
D7 G
Even a boy could recognize
D7
She had a need to feel the thunder
C G
To chase the lightning from the skies
C
To watch the storm and all its wonder
D7
Ragin' in her lover's eyes
Em
She had to ride the heat of passion
C G
Like a comet burnin' bright
C
Rushin' head long in the wind
D7
But where only dreams had been
G
Burnin' both ends of the night
That summer wind was all around me
Em
Nothin' between us but the night
C
And when I told her that I'd never
D7
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 another summer
D7 G
When I have ever learned so much
Repeat #5,6
I often think about that summer
Em
The sweat the moonlight and the lace
C
I have rarely held another
D7
When I haven't seen her face
G
Every time I pass a wheat field
Em
Watch it dancin' with the wind
C
Although I know it isn't real
D7
I just can't help but feel
G
Her hungry arms again
repeat #5,6
C
Rushin' head long in the wind
D7
Out where only dreams had been
G
Burnin' both ends of the night
