At least one of the guitars on the album is in dropped-D tuning, but
the acoustic is standard tuned (I think), so it sounds cool like that
if you're playing it by yourself. Enjoy!
Comments, corrections etc always welcome.
STRAIGHT OUTTA TIME - John Hiatt
--------------------------------
D G D G
Hot summer Dnight, I was counting all the starlight on your Gskin
AirDtight, as I watched you breathing out, I'm breathing Gin C
By the Dlake, so humid that the moon was getting Gwet
For our Dsake the crickets started playing their castoGnets C
Like a Dgypsy, you stole me from a child into a Gman
It never Dhit me: I've been running ever since I took a Gstand C
A Em /F# G
Just swaying in the breeze like a sweet memory
Running straight outta Dtime, Cstraight outta Gtime (x2)
Since you were Dmine G
That autumn chill sent a shiver, girl, it shook us to the bone
And we still had February frozen on the phone
Spring thaw, would it find us with our lips frozen blue'
Love calls, but do we really live the time we're running through'
Or like a dream, do we let it die and drift away to sleep
Until it screams like an echo in the history books you keep
'Cause that stream running from the corners of my mind
Looking back I find like a river it unwinds
Running straight outta time, straight outta time (x2)
Running Astraight outta time just like an old man's fiddle
Looking for the dance; gonna Gmeet me in the middle
I'm Anever gonna figure out the way that I feel -
Em /F# G D
Running straight outta time, but my love's still real
<Solo> |G |D |G C |
|D |G |D |G C |
Now I Dsee you- you're looking pretty in your summer Gdress
I can almost Dfeel you as you clutch your little locket to your GbreastC
Looking Ddown at the picture, girl, you know you're looking Gfine
Is it Dme' Was I ever in your heart or on your Gmind'
Cause I'm running Doutta time G
D G (hold)
I'm running straight outta time
Were you ever mine'
