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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC F G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
