BAF#mB 2x
AEAE
When the rain came I thought you'd leave
AE
cause I knew how much you loved the sun
AE
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
AE
Through the darkest nights I've ever known
BA
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
F#mB
Then I know I love ya
AEAE
Oh, the snow fell without a break
AE
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
AE
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
AE
I couldn't believe you kept a smile
BA
Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst
F#mB
And I know I love ya
AEAE
Oh, I never was good with romantic words
AE
So the next few lines come really hard
AE
Don't have much but what I've got is yours
AE
Except of course my steel guitar
B
Ha, cause I know you don't play
A
But I'll teach you one day
F#mB
Because I love ya
AE 4x
BAF#mB x2
AEAE
I recall the night we knelt and prayed
AE
Noticing, your face was thin and pale
AE
I found it hard to hide my tears
AE
I felt ashamed, I felt I'd let you down
BA
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
F#mB
Couldn't change a thing no, no
BAF#mBBAF#mB
La dadada la da la dadada La dadada la dada
BAF#mBBA
The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
F#mB
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. . .
