Rain for the Roses Lyrics

INTRO: D, D/B, G
It's 98 in the shade an' Mr Rose is rollin' hay.
Eighty acres down an' ten to go.
NC D
Clouds are buildin in the south,
He knows time is runnin out,
An'there goes that tractors radiator hose.
NC D
There aint no tricks in his straw hat
He walks a quarter mile back.
Miss Rose hears him slam that ol' screen door.
NC D
What he sees as wasted time is a blessing in disguise
Oh, he's cussin' what she's been prayin' for.
(CHORUS)
The day turned dark as night,
and in her eyes he saw the light,
G D/F# A (FILL 1)
He hadn't taken the time to notice.
From Heaven, it poured down on that little old farm house
Lord knows what to do when love needs time for growin'
D D/F# G A D (INTRO)
He sends ra--in for the Roses.
She pulled down the window blinds
Even though the sun wasnt shinin
The rain tapped out a love song on that old tin roof.
Wrapped up in the covers, they held on to each other,
Like new lovers, on their honeymoon
(CHORUS)
Instrumental Break Chords: D, D/F#, G, A, Bm
Lord knows what to do when love needs time for growin'
(He sends ra--in )
D D/F# G A D (INTRO)
The Lord sends ra--in for the Roses.
(FILL 1)
