                                                    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  --------------|-----|
