CAPO 2

INTRO: D, D/B, G

      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. 
                      D/B                 D
Miss Rose hears him slam that ol' screen door.
 NC      D
What he sees as wasted time is a blessing in disguise 
                        A               G      A
Oh, he's cussin' what she's been prayin' for.


(CHORUS)
     D          D/F#     G                
The day turned dark as night, 
            A                Bm
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. 
 D
Wrapped up in the covers, they held on to each other,
                 A             G
Like new lovers, on their honeymoon

(CHORUS)

A           G               D/F#                A
Lord knows what to do when love needs time for growin' 

          D D/F# G A          
(He sends   ra--in   )

               D D/F# G A           D    (INTRO)
The Lord sends   ra--in   for the Roses.
