Mandolin Rain Cifras

[Intro]
Dm  C  Am  G
Dm  C  F  C  (x2)
 
[Verse 1]
    C
The song came and went
           G             Dm
Like the times that we spent
        F             G              C
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
    C
I laughed and she'd smile
           G        Dm
It would last for awhile
            F               G                     C
You don't know what you've got till you lose it all again
 
[Chorus]
                Dm         C
Listen to the mandolin rain
                Am             G
Listen to the music on the lake
                   Dm       C
Oh listen to my heart break
                F       C
Every time she runs away
                Dm      C
Listen to the banjo wind
             Am        G
A sad song drifting low
                 Dm     C
Listen to the tears roll
                      F         C
Down my face as she turns to go
 
[Verse 2]
   C
A cool evening dance
  G                         Dm                F
Listenin to the bluegrass band takes the chill
          G              C
From the air until they play the last song
 C
I'll do my time
     G                  Dm                F
Oh keeping you off my mind but there's moments
          G           C
That I find I'm not feeling so strong
 
[Chorus]
                Dm         C
Listen to the mandolin rain
                Am             G
Listen to the music on the lake
                 Dm        C
Oh listen to my heart break
                 F      C
Every time she runs away
              Dm       C
Listen to the banjo wind
             Am        G
A sad song drifting low
                Dm      C
Listen to the tears roll
                      F        C
Down my face as she turns to go
 
[Bridge]
 Bb          Am
Runnin down by the lakeshore
          C              F
She did love the sound of a summer storm
    Bb                 Am
It played on the lake like a mandolin
          C             F       G                Dm  C  Am  G
Now it's washing her away once again...whoa, again
 
Dm  C  F  C
 
[Verse 3]
      C
The boat's steaming in
    G                  Dm
I watch the sidewheel spin
        F              G                 C
And I think about her when I hear that whistle blow
 C
I can't change my mind
     G              Dm              F
Oh I knew all the time that she'd go
               G            C
But that's a choice I made long ago
 
[Chorus]
                Dm         C
Listen to the mandolin rain
                Am             G
Listen to the music on the lake
                 Dm        C
Oh listen to my heart break
                 F      C
Every time she runs away
                Dm      C
Listen to the banjo wind
             Am        G
A sad song drifting low
                Dm      C
Listen to the tears roll
                      F        C
Down my face as she turns to go
                  Dm  C  Am  G
As she turns to go
                Dm       C
Oh listen to my heart break
                F      C
Every time she runs away
              Dm       C
Listen to the banjo wind
          Am        G
Sad song drifting low
               Dm      C
Listen to the tears roll
                     F        C
Down my face as she turns to go
