Verse:
D A
She had five hundred dollars that her grandma left her
D Em
She said for a rainy day
D A
A hundred more from the general store
D A G
Where she stocked the shelves for pay
D A
She’d had enough of those country roads
D A Em
And the wind in the telephone wires
D A
She said a prayer for luck and started the truck
D A G
Checked the mirror and spun the tires
D Em
She said there’s no such thing as a rainy day
D A
And the world is bigger than the milky way
D A
You save it too long you’re just throwin it away
D Em A
And she rolls like the thunder
D A D
Riding to the edge of the storm
Chorus chords w/ mandolin solo
Verse:
D A
She had her mama’s smile and her daddy’s fire
D A Em
And their love burned deep in her soul
D A
They were more than glad to give her all they had
D A G
As they pushed her from the fold
D A
Now the road gets wider mile by mile
D A Em
As she heads east toward the dawn
D A
The clouds press down, the lightning sounds
D A G
Lilly turns those wipers on
D Em
She said there’s no such thing as a rainy day
D A
And the world is bigger than the milky way
D A
You save it too long you’re just throwin it away
D Em A
And she rolls like the thunder
D A D
Riding to the edge of the storm
Chorus chords w/ guitar solo
Bridge:
A G
The cards came in from Fond do Lac
A D
New Orleans and Chilliwack
A G
She said one of these days I’ll be coming back
Em A
But I’m not gonna stay
D Em
She said there’s no such thing as a rainy day
D A
The world is bigger than the milky way
D A
You save it too long you’re just throwin it away
D Em A
And she rolls like the thunder
D Em
She said there’s no such thing as a rainy day
D A
The world is bigger than the milky way
D A
You save it too long you’re just throwin it away
D Em A
And she rolls like the thunder
D A D
Riding to the edge of the storm
