1. Verse:

A augmentedA    E MajorE

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


2. Verse:

A augmentedA    E MajorE

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

3. Verse:

A augmentedA    E MajorE

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

4. Verse:

A augmentedA    E MajorE

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