The sky is overcast,

the wind has no direction,

She flips back to shut ters,

Seven years gone by
Ebm
Db
A stranger kicked her door in
Ab
with a gun held high
Ebm
Db
While rain kept pouring
Ab
and drowned her cries
Ebm
Db
He raped her from midnight
Fm
till he saw the splittered sun
Bb

light through the trees
Ebm
And the day hit 99 degrees

Ab
There was no arrest,
Ebm
Db
not much investigation,
Ebm
Db
And no compensation
Ab
for her shredded dress
Ebm
Db
Her spir it bruised and broken,
Fm
Bb
Db
her heart full of unspoken memories
Ab
So the church bell chimes
Ebm
Db
For all the ragged sis ters
Ab
And the red sun shines
Ebm
Db
The house paint blisters
Ab
And the mercury climbs
Ebm
Db
The temperature's so vicious
Fm
She wrings her hands
Bb
Db
And wishes it would freeze
Dbsus2
But it's almost 99 degrees

Ab
She's too dug in to leave,
Ebm
Db
too free to have a plan,
Ebm
Db
And too young to un derstand
Ab
why she can't believe
Ebm
Db
In the never never land
Fm
Bb
or ask the weatherman for guarantees
Db
Ab
At the alibi
Ebm
Db
She keeps her nightly vigil
Ebm
All vain and superficial
Db
Ab
But still they try
Ebm
Db
And wind up in frustration
Fm
Bb
Db
She gets her reputation as a tease
But her blood runs 99 degrees

Ab
One night he blows in,
Ebm

he sits there and eyes her
Dbsus2
Ab
over ten slow gins
Ebm

He don't recognize her
Ebm
and waits for him outside
Db
Fm
And she offers him a ride
Bbm
Db
and he agrees
Ab
Now her high beams shine,
Db
Ab
high along the ridge above the timber line
Ebm
Ab
Db
As they cross the one lane bridge
Ab
he hears the engine whine
Ebm
Db
His fin gers clutch the vinyl,
Fm
Bb
Db
her smile is the fi nal thing he sees
Dbsus2
Db
Ebm
As she turns the wheel 99 degrees
