GD
When the rain came I thought you'd leave
GD
cause I knew how much you loved the sun
GD
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
GD
Through the darkest nights I've ever known
AG
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
EmA
Then I know I love ya
GDGD
Oh, the snow fell without a break
GD
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
GD
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
GD
I couldn't believe you kept a smile
AG
Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst
EmA
And I know I love ya
GDGD
Oh, I never was good with romantic words
GD
So the next few lines come really hard
GD
Don t have much but what I've got is yours
GD
Except of course my steel guitar
A
Ha, cause I know you don't play
G
But I'll teach you one day
EmA
Because I love ya
GD 4x
AGEmA x2
GDGD
I recall the night we knelt and prayed
GD
Noticing, your face was thin and pale
GD
I found it hard to hide my tears
GD
I felt ashamed, I felt I'd let you down
AG
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
EmA
Couldn't change a thing no, no
AGEmAAGEmA
La dadada la da la dadada La dadada la dada
AGEmAAG
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
EmA
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
Lordy I love ya
A
And I love ya
G
Darlin I love ya. . .
