The Everly Brothers – Mandolin Wind (Guitar)

         F                         C
When the rain came I thought you'd leave

         F                          C
'Cause I knew how much you loved the sun

       F                       C
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm

           F                        C
Through the darkest nights I've ever known

           G                      F
'Cause the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing

             C
And I know I love ya

       F                   C
Oh the snow fell without a break

       F                          C
Ah the buffalo died in the frozen fields you know

            F                        C
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years

  F                           C
I couldn't believe you kept a smile

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

             C
And I know I love ya

     F                         C
Oh I never was good with big romantic words

       F                          C
So the next few lines come really hard

F                             C
Don't have much but what I've got is yours

  F                       C
Except of course my steel guitar

         G
'Cause I know you don't play

         F
But I'll teach you some day

         C
'Cause I love ya

    F                     C
Oh, I recall the night we knelt and prayed

F                      C
Noticing your face was still and pale

  F                        C
I found it hard to hide my tears

  F                       C
I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down

   G                      F
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing

         Am                 G
Couldn't change a thing no, no
