G+G D MajorD A minorAm C majorC 2x
D MajorD

  G+G       D MajorD
The song came and went,
     A minorAm      C majorC
like the times that we spent,
    G+G      D MajorD       C majorC      D MajorD
hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
G+G      D MajorD
Happen she'd smile,
     A minorAm    C majorC
it would last for awhile,
     G+G       D MajorD       C majorC      G+G  D MajorD
you don't know what you got, till you lose it all again

C majorC       G+G    C majorC
Listen to the mandolin rain,
       G+G      D MajorD
listen to the music on the lake;
       A minorAm  C majorC      G+G    C majorC   G+G
listen to my heart break, every time she runs away
C majorC       G+G   C majorC
Listen to the banjo wind,
      G+G    D MajorD
a sad song drifting low,
       A minorAm  C majorC             G+G    C majorC D MajorD
listen to the tears roll, down my face as she turns to go

 G+G      D MajorD
A augmentedA cool evening dance,
     A minorAm        C majorC       G+G
listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
     D MajorD       C majorC       G+G  D MajorD
from the air, till they play the last song
G+G     D MajorD
I'll do my time,
    A minorAm     C majorC
keeping you off my mind;
      G+G       D MajorD       C majorC      G+G   D MajorD
but there's moments that I find, I'm not feeling too strong

C majorC       G+G    C majorC
Listen to the mandolin rain,
       G+G      D MajorD
listen to the music on the lake;
       A minorAm  C majorC      G+G    C majorC   G+G
listen to my heart break, every time she runs away
C majorC       G+G   C majorC
Listen to the banjo wind,
      G+G    D MajorD
a sad song drifting low,

       A minorAm  C majorC             G+G    C majorC D MajorD
listen to the tears roll, down my face as she turns to go

FF          C majorC
Running down by the lakeshore,
    D MajorD    A minorAm     C majorC   D MajorD
she did love the sound of a summer storm
FF             C majorC
Playing on the lake like a mandolin,
     A minorAm      C majorC     D MajorD
now it's washing her away once again

Solo

  G+G        D MajorD
The boat's steaming in,
 A minorAm          C majorC
I watch the side wheel spin, and
 G+G        D MajorD   C majorC        G+G  D MajorD
I think about her when I hear the whistle blow
G+G         D MajorD
I can't change my mind,
 A minorAm      C majorC        G+G
I knew all the time that she'd go;
       D MajorD       C majorC   G+G D MajorD
but that's a choice I made long ago

C majorC       G+G    C majorC
Listen to the mandolin rain,
       G+G      D MajorD
listen to the music on the lake;
       A minorAm  C majorC      G+G    C majorC   G+G
listen to my heart break every time she runs away
C majorC       G+G   C majorC
Listen to the banjo wind,
      G+G    D MajorD
a sad song drifting low;
       A minorAm  C majorC             G+G    C majorC D MajorD
listen to the tears roll, down my face as she turns to go
        C majorC
As she turns to go
             G+G    C majorC
Listen to, listen to the mandolin rain

       A minorAm  C majorC             G+G    C majorC D MajorD
Listen to the tears roll, down my face as she turns to go
       A minorAm  C majorC             G+G    C majorC D MajorD
Listen to the tears roll, down my face as she turns to go
             G+G    C majorC
Listen to, listen to the mandolin rain
