The song came and went
      G+G       DmDm
 Like the times that we spent
    FF       G+G       C majorC
 Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
  C majorC
 I laughed and she'd smile
      G+G    DmDm
 It would last for awhile
      FF        G+G           C majorC
 You don't know what you've got till you lose it all again

[CHORUS]
        DmDm     C majorC
 Listen to the mandolin rain
        A minorAm       G+G
 Listen to the music on the lake

 Oh listen to my heart break
        FF    C majorC
 Every time she runs away
        DmDm   C majorC
 Listen to the banjo wind
       A minorAm    G+G
 A augmentedA sad song drifting low
         DmDm   C majorC
 Listen to the tears roll

 Down my face as she turns to go

 From the air until they play the last song

 I'll do my time
   G+G         DmDm        FF
 Oh keeping you off my mind but there's moments
     G+G      C majorC
 That I find I'm not feeling so strong

 Runnin down by the lakeshore
     C majorC       FF
 She did love the sound of a summer storm

 It played on the lake like a mandolin

 Now it's washing her away once again...whoa, again

Dm, C, F, C majorC

   C majorC
 The boat's steaming in
  G+G         DmDm
 I watch the sidewheel spin
    FF       G+G         C majorC
 And I think about her when I hear that whistle blow
 C majorC
 I can't change my mind
   G+G       DmDm       FF
 Oh I knew all the time that she'd go
        G+G      C majorC
 But that's a choice I made long ago

[CHORUS]
        DmDm     C majorC
 Listen to the mandolin rain
        A minorAm       G+G
 Listen to the music on the lake
