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
