Bruce Springsteen - Dry Lightning: chords

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

Chorus:
        F
Is dry lightning
                C
On the horizon line
          G
Just dry lightning
               C
And you on my mind

I chased the heat of her blood like
it was the holy grail
Descend, beautiful spirit,
into the evening pale
Her appaloosa's kicking in the corral,
smelling rain
There's a low thunder rolling across
the mesquite plain

Chorus:
But it's just dry lightning on the horizon line
It's just dry lightning and you on my mind

                       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

Chorus:
It's just dry lightning on the horizon line
Just dry lightning and you on my mind
