That Summer - Garth Brooks chords

Key: C Singer/Band: Garth Brooks


Capo 2 Intro [C] [D] [C] [G/B] [Am]
Verse 1
I went to work for her that [G]summer
A teenage kid so far from [Em]home
She was a lonely widow [C]woman
Hell-bent to make it on her [D]own
We were a thousand miles from [G]nowhere
Wheat fields as far as I could [Em]see
Both needing something from each [C]other
N[D]ot kn[Gsus2]owing yet what that might be[G]
Verse 2
'Til she came to me one [G]evening
Hot cup of coffee and a [Em]smile
In a dress that I was [C]certain
She hadn't worn in quite a [D]while
There was a difference in [G]her laughter
There was a softness in [Em]her eyes
And on the air there [C]was a hunger
E[D]ven a[Gsus2] boy could recogniz[G]e
Chorus
[G]She had a need to feel the [D][C]thunder
To chase the lightning from the [G]skies
To watch a storm with all its [C]wonder
Written in her lover's [D]eyes
She had to ride the heat of [Em]passion [D] [C]
Like a comet burning [G]bright
Rushing headlong in the [C]wind
Now where only dreams have [D]been
Burning both ends of the [G]night [Gsus2] [G]
Verse 3
That summer wind was all [G]around me
Nothing between us but [Em]the night
When I told her that [C]I'd never
She softly whispered that's [D]alright
And then I watched her [G]hands of leather
Turn to velvet in a touch [Em]
There's never been a [C]summer
[D]When I have [Gsus2]ever learned so [G]much
Chorus
[G]She had a need to feel the [D][C]thunder
To chase the lightning from the [G]skies
To watch a storm with all its [C]wonder
Written in her lover's [D]eyes
She had to ride the heat of [Em]passion [D] [C]
Like a comet burning [G]bright
Rushing headlong in the [C]wind
Now where only dreams have [D]been
Burning both ends of the [G]night [Gsus2] [G]
Solo
[C] [D] [Gsus2] [G]
Verse 4
I often think about that [G]summer
The sweat, the moonlight [Em]and the lace
And I have rarely held [C]another
When I haven't seen her [D]face
And every time I pass a [G]wheat field
And watch it dancing with [Em]the wind
Although I know it [C]isn't real
I just can't help but [G]feel
[D]Her [Gsus2]hungry arms [G]again
Chorus
[G]She had a need to feel the [D][C]thunder
To chase the lightning from the [G]skies
To watch a storm with all its [C]wonder
Written in her lover's [D]eyes
She had to ride the heat of [Em]passion [D] [C]
Like a comet burning [G]bright
Rushing headlong in the [C]wind
Now where only dreams have [D]been
Burning both ends of the [G]night [Gsus2] [G]
Rushing headlong in the [C]wind
Now where only dreams have [D]been
Burning both ends of the [G]night [Gsus2] [G]
