[1. Verse:]

A        E

         A                        
When the rain came I thought youd 
E
leave
        A                          
cause I knew how much you loved the
 E
 sun
        A                       E
But you chose to stay, stay and keep
 me warm
            A                      
Through the darkest nights Ive ever
 E
 known
       B                     A
If the mandolin wind couldnt change 
a thing
              A    E    A  E
Then I know I love ya


[2. Verse:]

A        E

       A                   E
Oh the snow fell without a break
A                          E
Buffalo died in the frozen fields 
you know
            A                      
Through the coldest winter in 
  E
almost fourteen years
Continues after the ad
  A                          E
I couldnt believe you kept a smile
          B                        
Now I can rest assured knowing that
      A
 weve seen the worst
             A    E    A  E
And I know I love ya


[3. Verse:]

A        E

     A                   E
Oh I never was good with romantic 
words
       A                          
So the next few lines come really 
E
hard
A                           E
Dont have much but what Ive got is 
yours
A                         E
Except of course my steel guitar
            B
Ha, cause I know you dont play
        A
But Ill teach you one day
          A    E
Because I love ya

A        E

A                             
I recall the night we knelt and 
  E
prayed
A                      E
Noticing your face was thin and pale
  A                        E
I found it hard to hide my tears
  A                      E
I felt ashamed I felt Id let you 
down
   B                     A
No mandolin wind couldnt change a 
thing
        A                  B      
Couldnt change a thing no, no
