D
It's 98 in the shade an' Mr Rose is rollin' hay.
D/B D
Eighty acres down an' ten to go.
NC D
Clouds are buildin in the south
He knows time is runnin out
D/B G
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.

What he sees as wasted time is a blessing in disguise

Oh he's cussin' what she's been prayin' for.

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.
D D/F# G A Bm
From Heaven it poured down on that little old farm house
G D/F# A
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.
D
She pulled down the window blinds
Even though the sun wasnt shinin
D/B D
The rain tapped out a love song on that old tin roof.

Wrapped up in the covers they held on to each other
A G
Like new lovers on their honeymoon
