                                                    Threw...

 

C                        F 

Threw my robe on in the morning 

                                       C 

Watched the ring on the stove turn to red, 

                                  G 

Stared hypnotized into a cup of coffee 

                                 C 

Pulled on my boots and made my bed 

                             F 

Screen door hangin' off its hinges 

                           C

Kept bangin' me awake all night 

                    G

As I look out the window 

                   C

The only thing in sight 

 

            F

Is dry lightning  

                C

On the horizon line 

            G     Gsus G

Just dry lightning  

         Gsus   C

And you on my mind 



                           F

I chased the heat of her blood 

                       C

Like it was the holy grail 

                    G

Descend beautiful spirit 

                  C

Into the evening pale 

             F

Her appaloosa's 

                                C

Kickin' in the corral smelling rain 

                        G

There's a low thunder rolling 

                     C

'Cross the mesquite plain 

 

                 F

But it's dry lightning  

                C

On the horizon line 

            G     Gsus G

Just dry lightning  

         Gsus   C

And you on my mind 

 

C                F                           C                  G

                            G 

I'd drive down to Alvarado street 

                            C 

Where she danced to make ends meet 

                    G 

I'd spend the night over my gin 

              C         G

As she'd talk to her men 

 

                     F

Well the piss yellow sun 

                      C

Comes bringing up the day 

                                   G

She said ain't nobody gonna give nobody 

                        C

What they really need anyway 

                          F

You get so sick of the fighting 

                           C

You lose your fear of the end 

                         G

But you can't lose your memory 

                             C

And the sweet smell of your skin 



                  F

And it's dry lightning  

                C

On the horizon line 

            G     Gsus G

Just dry lightning  

         Gsus   C

And you on my mind  --------------|-----
