Very nice
rhythm. Charlie added the picking patterns for you.
Capo 3rd fret
(D) (A) (D) (A) (D) (A) (D) (A) (D)
Naked in the sun, that's (D2/C)how she
runs,
(Em7)Rocking my heart like the (A7short)beat
of a drum.
(D)Look at the sunlight (D2/C)dance
on her hair,
(Em7)Over and over, I (A7short)stand
there and stare,
And I (Bm)( hold) look at her (A)run,
naked in the (D)sun,
Oh, I look at her (A)run, naked in the (D)sun.
She is morning thunder and (D2/C)it's my
hunger,
(Em7)Making me feel like I'm (A7short)ten
years younger.
(D)Lay me away any(D2/C)time
night or day,
(Em7)Good god almighty, I (A7short)can't
get away…
I just (Bm)(pause) look at her (A)run,
naked in the (D)sun,
Oh, I look at her (A)run, naked in the (D)sun.
She is (G)morning thunder and (A)it's
no wonder
I (D)can't get (F#m)my
work (Bm)(hold)done,
I just look at her (A)run, naked in the (D)sun,
Oh, I look at her (A)run, naked in the (D)sun.
(A) (D) (A) (D)
(Bm)(hold)Still I heed the (F#m)(hold)mustang
creed
Whose (G)(hold)days have (A)(hold)known
no (D)(hold)rain,
I (Bm)(hold)used to run with the (F#m)(hold)rising
sun
When the (G)(hold)nightmares (A)(hold)call
my (D)(hold)name.
Now I look at her (A)run, naked in the (D)sun,
Oh, I look at her (A)run, naked in the (D)sun,
Oh, I look at her (A)run, naked in the (D)sun,
Oh, I look at her (A)run, naked in the (D)sun,
Oh, I look at her (A)run, naked in the (D)sun,
Oh, I look at her (A)run, naked in the (D)sun,
Oh, I look at her (A)run, naked in the (D)sun…
(A) (D) (A)
(D) (and fade)
