Standard (EADGBE)

2x

When the rain came I thought you d leave

cause I knew how much you loved the sun

But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm

Through the darkest nights I ve ever known

If the mandolin wind couldn t change a thing

Then I know I love ya

Oh, the snow fell without a break

Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know

Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years

I couldn t believe you kept a smile

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

And I know I love ya

Oh, I never was good with romantic words

So the next few lines come really hard

Don t have much but what I ve got is yours

Except of course my steel guitar

Ha, cause I know you don t play

But I ll teach you one day

Because I love ya

x2

I recall the night we knelt and prayed

Noticing, your face was thin and pale

I found it hard to hide my tears

I felt ashamed, I felt I d let you down

No mandolin wind couldn t change a thing

Couldn t change a thing no, no

La dadada la da la dadada La dadada la dada

The coldest winter in almost fourteen years

Could never, never change your mind, yeh

And I love ya

Yes indeed and I love ya

And I love ya

Lordy I love ya

And I love ya

Darlin I love ya. . .
