The Burning Heart

E 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 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 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 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 E A E E B E F F She came on me like the summer Bb F wrapped around me like the wind F C And my defenses buckled in the heat F Out there on the station Bb F The sun set amber glow F C F As our lips met a fire was released F Like a burning sun beating down C F She sparked a flame on virgin ground Bb F And if by chance a fire should start C F No one could tame the burning heart F Just like a burning sun that was beating down C F She sparked a flame on virgin ground Bb F And if by chance a fire should start C F No one could tame the burning heart C F F C F Ooh my burning heart
