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
