         A                         E
When the rain came I thought you'd leave
        A                           E
cause I knew how much you loved the sun
        A                       E
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
            A                        E
Through the darkest nights I've ever known
       B                      A
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
              F#m   B
Then I know I love ya
A E
        A                   E
Oh, the snow fell without a break
A                          E
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
            A                        E
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
  A                           E
I couldn't believe you kept a smile
          B                               A
Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst
             F#m   B
And I know I love ya
A E
A                           E
Oh, I never was good with romantic words
       A                          E
So the next few lines come really hard
A                             E
Don't have much but what I've got is yours
  A                          E
Except of course my steel guitar
            B                          
Ha, cause I know you don't play
         A
But I'll teach you one day
          F#m   B
Because I love ya
A E 4x
B A F#m B x2

A                     E
I recall the night we knelt and prayed
A                       E
Noticing, your face was thin and pale
  A                        E
I found it hard to hide my tears
  A                        E
I felt ashamed, I felt I'd let you down
   B                      A   
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
         F#m                 B
Couldn't change a thing no, no
B A F#m B
 
B               A          F#m             B
La dadada la da la dadada  La dadada la dada  
B A F#m B
    B                        A
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
      F#m                       B
Could never, never change your mind, yeh
      A
And I love ya
                 B
Yes indeed and I love ya
      B
And I love ya
        A
Lordy I love ya
      B
And I love ya
         A
Darlin I love ya. . .
