INTRO: E
VERSE:
E
She came down from up near Katherine
A E
Moved in across the ridge
E B
She was everything a young man could desire
E
Out there in the ranges
A E
In secret we would meet
E B E
My heart ran as wild as desert fire
[Refrão] E
Like a burning sun beating down
B E
She sparked a flame on virgin ground
A E
And if by chance a fire should start
B E E
No one could tame the burning heart
VERSE:
E
Well her father owned the station
A E
Where I rode the boundry fences
E B
And he made it clear for all the hands to see
E
That a man could easily wind up
A E
On the wrong end of his shot gun
E B E
And his little girl was only seventeen
[Refrão] E
Like a burning sun beating down
B E
She sparked a flame on virgin ground
A E
And if by chance a fire should start
B E
No one could tame the burning heart
BREAK: E A E E B E F

Out there on the station

The sun set amber glow
F C F
As our lips met a fire was released
[Refrão] F
Like a burning sun beating down
C F
She sparked a flame on virgin ground

And if by chance a fire should start

Just like a burning sun that was beating down

And if by chance a fire should start

No one could tame the burning heart
