A E

         A                         E
When the rain came I thought you d 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 I ve ever known
       B                      A
If the mandolin wind couldn t change a thing
              Gbm   B
Then I know I love ya

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 couldn t believe you kept a smile
          B                               A
Now I can rest assured knowing that we ve seen the worst
             Gbm   B
And I know I love ya

A E

A                           E
Oh, I never was good with romantic words
       A                          E
So the next few lines come really hard
A                             E
Don t have much but what I ve got is yours
  A                          E
Except of course my steel guitar
            B                          
Ha, cause I know you don t play
         A
But I ll teach you one day
          Gbm   B
Because I love ya

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 I d let you down
   B                      A   
No mandolin wind couldn t change a thing
         Gbm                 B
Couldn t change a thing no, no
