VERSE #1
D
The song came and went
D A Em Bm
Like the times that we spent
Bm G A
Hiding out from the rain
A G
Under the carnival tent
G D
I laughed and she smiled
D A Em Bm
It would last for awhile
Bm G A G
You don't know what you've got till you lose it all again
CHORUS X3
G Em D
Listen to the mandolin rain
D Bm A
Listen to the music on the lake
A Em D
Listen to my heart break
D Bm A
Everytime she runs away
A Em D
Listen to the banjo wind
D Bm A
A sad song drifting low
A G D
Listen to my tears roll
D G D
Down my face as she turns to go
VERSE #2
D
A cool evening dance
A Em Bm
Listening to the bluegrass band
Bm G A
Takes the chill from the air
A G
Until they play the last song
D
I'll do my time
A Em Bm
Keeping you off my mind
Bm G A
But there's moments that I find
A G
I'm not feeling too strong
VERSE #3
D
The boats are steaming in
A Em Bm
I watch the sidewheel spin
Bm G A
And I think about her when
A G
I hear that whistle blow
D
I can't change my mind
D A Em Bm G
I knew it all the time that she'd go
G A G
But that's a choice I made long ago
