Mandolin Rain Tab

by Bruce Hornsby


While looking on the internet, I found that there was a major shortage
of Bruce Hornsby stuff. This might have been because I was looking on
guitar tab pages, while Bruce Hornsby and the range is a piano band. I
originally figured this out on piano, but it doesn't sound too bad on
guitar. Enjoy. ~e~

                  
The song came and went
                       
Like the times that we spent
                                  
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
                 
I laughed and she smiled
                 
It would last for awhile
                                           
You don't know what you got till you lose it all again

              
Listen to the mandolin rain
                           
Listen to the music on the lake
                                         
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
              
Listen to the banjo wind
          
A sad song drifting low
                                                  
Listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go

A cool evening dance
Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
From the air till they play the last song
I'll do my time
Keeping you off my mind
But there's moments that I find, I'm not feeling too strong

REPEAT CHORUS

                      
Running on down by the lakeshore
                                
She did love the sound of a summer storm
                         
Playin on the lake like a mandolin
                       
Now it's washing her away once again

REPEAT CHORUS

The boat's steaming in
I watch the sidewheel spin and
I think about her when I hear the whistle blow
I can't change my mind
I knew all the time that she'd go
But that's a choice I made long ago

REPEAT CHORUS
