Tom: D | Em D | | Bm A | | | Em D | | G D | || [Verse 1] D D A Em The song came and went like the times that we spent, D/F# G A G D hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent. D D A Em I laughed and she'd smile, it would last for awhile, D/F# G A G D you don't know what you got till you lose it all again. [Chorus] Em D Bm A Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake, Em D Bm A listen to my heart break every time she runs away. Em D Bm A Listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low, Em D G D listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go. [Verse 2] D D A Em A cool evening dance, listening to the bluegrass band D/F# G A G D takes the chill from the air till they play the last song. D D A Em I'll do my time, keeping you off my mind D/F# G A G D but there's moments that I find I'm not feeling so strong. [Chorus] Em D Bm A Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake, Em D Bm A listen to my heart break every time she runs away. Em D Bm A Listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low, Em D G D listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go. [Interlude] Em D Bm A Oh, listen to mandolin rain. Em D G D [Chorus] Em D Bm A Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake, Em D Bm A listen to my heart break every time she runs away. Em D Bm A Listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low, Em D G D listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go. [Outro] Em D Bm A Oh, listen to the mandolin rain, Em D G D listen to the mandolin rain, Em D Bm A listen to the mandolin rain, oh, Em D G D listen to the mandolin rain.
