Eighty acres down an' ten to go.

Clouds are buildin in the south  

He knows time is runnin out  
                              D/B     G 
An'there goes that tractors radiator hose.

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. 

Chorus

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'

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
