1. Verse:

A    E

     A            E
When the rain came I thought youd leave
    A              E
cause I knew how much you loved the sun
    A            E
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
      A            E
Through the darkest nights Ive ever 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            E
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
 A             E
I couldnt believe you kept a smile
     B               A
Now I can rest assured knowing that 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             E
So the next few lines come really 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

4. Verse:

A    E

A                E
I recall the night we knelt and 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     B      A
Couldnt change a thing no, no
