DGD
The song came and went,
AmC
like the times that we spent,
GDCD
hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
GD
Happen she d smile,
AmC
it would last for awhile,
GDCGD
you don't know what you got, till you lose it all again
CGC
Listen to the mandolin rain,
GD
listen to the music on the lake;
AmCGCG
listen to my heart break, every time she runs away
CGC
Listen to the banjo wind,
GD
a sad song drifting low,
AmCGCD
listen to the tears roll, down my face as she turns to go
GD
A cool evening dance,
AmCG
listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
DCGD
from the air, till they play the last song
GD
I'll do my time,
AmC
keeping you off my mind;
GDCGD
but there's moments that I find, I'm not feeling too strong
CGC
Listen to the mandolin rain,
GD
listen to the music on the lake;
AmCGCG
listen to my heart break, every time she runs away
CGC
Listen to the banjo wind,
GD
a sad song drifting low,
AmCGCD
listen to the tears roll, down my face as she turns to go
FC
Running down by the lakeshore,
DAmCD
she did love the sound of a summer storm
FC
Playing on the lake like a mandolin,
AmCD
now it's washing her away once again
Solo
GD
The boat's steaming in,
AmC
I watch the side wheel spin, and
GDCGD
I think about her when I hear the whistle blow
GD
I can't change my mind,
AmCG
I knew all the time that she'd go;
DCGD
but that's a choice I made long ago
CGC
Listen to the mandolin rain,
GD
listen to the music on the lake;
AmCGCG
listen to my heart break every time she runs away
CGC
Listen to the banjo wind,
GD
a sad song drifting low;
AmCGCD
listen to the tears roll, down my face as she turns to go
C
As she turns to go
GC
Listen to, listen to the mandolin rain
AmCGCD
Listen to the tears roll, down my face as she turns to go
AmCGCD
Listen to the tears roll, down my face as she turns to go
GC
Listen to, listen to the mandolin rain
