Mandolin Rain (Acoustic Chords)
Based on Acoustic Cover by Gareth Asher

Intro
 –  –  –      (3 Times)
 
                   
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 a while
                                            
You don't know what you got till you lose it all again


Chorus
                      
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

(Chorus)

Bridge

                      
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

(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

(Chorus)

THE END
