Mandolin Wind chords Rod Stewart 1971 (Every Picture Tells a Story) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandolin_Wind Capo II ** A G Em A* 2x G D*
         G                         D
When the rain came I thought you'd leave

        G                           D
cause I knew how much you loved the sun

        G                       D
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm

            G                        D
Through the darkest nights I've ever known

       A                      G
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing

              Em   A   Em A
Then I know I love ya
G D
        G                   D
Oh, the snow fell without a break

G                          D
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know

            G                        D
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years

  G                           D
I couldn't believe you kept a smile

          A                               G
Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst

             Em   A   Em A
And I know I love ya
G D
      G                   D
Oh, I never was good with romantic words

       G                          D
So the next few lines come really hard

G                             D
Don't have much but what I've got is yours

  G                          D
Except of course my steel guitar

            A                          
Ha, cause I know you don't play

         G
But I'll teach you one day

          Em   A
Because I love ya
G D 4x A G Em A x2 G D
G                     D
I recall the night we knelt and prayed

G                       D
Noticing, your face was thin and pale

  G                        D
I found it hard to hide my tears

  G                        D
I felt ashamed, I felt I'd let you down

   A                      G   
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing

         Em                 A
Couldn't change a thing no, no
A G Em A
A               G          Em             A
La dadada la da la dadada  La dadada la dada  
A G Em A
    A                        G
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years

      Em                       A        A  G
Could never, never change your mind, yeh 

      G
And I love ya

                 A
Yes indeed and I love ya

      A
And I love ya

        G       G   A
Lordy I love ya
