Dry Lightning.
Willie Nelson & Emmylou Harris.
Album: To All The Girls.
Intro: G F C
C F
I threw my robe on in the morning,
C
Watched the ring on the stove turn red,
G
Stared hypnotized into a cup of coffee,
F/G Em C
Pulled on my boots and made the bed,
F
Screen door hanging off its hinges,
C
Kept banging me awake all night,
G
As I look out the window,
C
The only thing in sight.
F C
Is dry lightning on the horizon line,
G C
Just dry lightning and you on my mind.
C F
I chased the heat of her blood,
C
Like it was the holy grail,
G
Descend beautiful spirit,
G7 C
Into the evening pale,
C6 F
Her appaloosas kicking,
F C
Kicking in the corral smelling rain,
G
There's a low thunder rolling,
C
'Cross the mesquite plain.
F C
But there's just dry lightning on the horizon line,
G G7 G6 C
It's just dry lightning and you on my mind.
Break: F C G7 G G7 C G
G
It drive down Alvarado Street,
C C6
Where she'd dance to make ends meet,
G C
He'd spend the night over his gin,
G F
He'd watch her, she'd talk to her men.
C
The piss yellow sun, comes bringing up the day,
G
She said "Ain't nobody can give nobody,
C
What they really need anyway."
F
Well you get so sick of the fighting,
C
You lose your fear of the end,
G G6
But I can't lose your memory,
C
And the sweet smell of your skin.
F C
And it's just dry lightning on the horizon line,
G G6 C
Just dry lightning and you on my mind.
