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


Chorus:
                 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

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


Chorus:
                 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


Chorus:
                 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
