John Hiatt, nacido en Indiana, es un compositor y guitarrista citado como una influencia por artistas tales como Bonnie Raitt, The Neville Brothers, Dr. Feelgood e Iggy Pop. Este hombre que comenzó su carrera en 1974 con el disco "Hangin' Around The Observatory", ha publicado una docena de álbumes, aunque su apasionada visión del rock y su penetrante e íntima alma country nunca le proporcionaron gran éxito. La crítica, sin embargo, alabó trabajos como "Bring The Family" y "Stolen Moments".

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 -------------------------------- DGDG
DG Hot summer night, I was counting all the starlight on your skin DGC Airtight, as I watched you breathing out, I'm breathing in DG By the lake, so humid that the moon was getting wet DGC For our sake the crickets started playing their castonets DG Like a gypsy, you stole me from a child into a man DGC It never hit me: I've been running ever since I took a stand
AEm /F#G Just swaying in the breeze like a sweet memory
DCG Running straight outta time, straight outta time (x2) DG Since you were mine
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)
A Running straight outta time just like an old man's fiddle G Looking for the dance; gonna meet me in the middle A I'm never gonna figure out the way that I feel - Em /F#GD Running straight outta time, but my love's still real

DG Now I see you- you're looking pretty in your summer dress DGC I can almost feel you as you clutch your little locket to your breast DG Looking down at the picture, girl, you know you're looking fine DG Is it me? Was I ever in your heart or on your mind? DG Cause I'm running outta time DG (hold) I'm running straight outta time Were you ever mine? --------
