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

Ha, cause I know you don't play
G
But I'll teach you one day
Em A
Because I love ya
G D 4x
A G Em A x2
G D
G D
I recall the night we knelt and prayed
G D
Noticing, your face was thin and pale
G D
I found it hard to hide my tears
G D
I felt ashamed, I felt I'd let you down
A G
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
Em A
Couldn't change a thing no, no
A G Em A
A G Em A
La dadada la da la dadada La dadada la dada
A G Em A
A G
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
Em A
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. . .
