[Verse 1]
        E          E7
It was late in the evenin'
        A        E
Just a few of us pickin',
        A        E
But the lady she played
   A        B           A       B
So easy and fine.
        E               E7
And the chords that she strummed
        A          E
Were so tastefully clever,
     F#m          G#m     B  E  
They planted this song in my 
        Esus4   E
mind.

[Chorus 1]
                E           E7    
'Cause there's something so 
   A       E
feminine about a mandolin,
    A             E
The way that they feel,
Continúa después del anuncio
    A             B     A       B
The way that they ring.
        E           E7
Just to see slender fingers,
A         E
Movin' so quickly,
F#m       G#m   B     E         
Made this boy want to sing.

[Verse 2]
    E           E7       A        
And when I get older and I have a 
E
daughter,
     A            E         A    
I'll teach her to sing, and play 
       B       A       B
her my songs
         E              E7        
And I'll tell her some stories I 
   A      E
can barely remember
    F#m           G#m  B    E   
And hope that she will sing 
Esus4   E
along.

[Verse 3]
E         E7                A       
 E          (see riff)
Maybe one day she'll take a fancy to
 pickin',
        A            E
'Cause when that bug bites you,
    A             B     A       B
You live with the string.
        E               E7    A  
And if she could just strum a few
        E
 simple measures
F#m             G#m       B     
She could make some young man 
E       Esus4   E
sing.

[Chorus 2]
                E           E7    
'Cause there's something so 
   A       E
feminine about a mandolin,
    A             E
The way that they feel,
    A             B     A       B
The way that they ring.
         E            E7
And that evening in a pasture,
A              E
Somewhere near Austin.
     F#m      G#m  B  E         
That mandolin made me sing,
Esus4   E

E7  F#m      G#m  B  A          E
Her mandolin made me sing.
