When the rain came I thought youd leave
A E
cause I knew how much you loved the sun

But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
A E
Through the darkest nights Ive ever known
B A
If the mandolin wind couldnt change a thing
A E A E
Then I know I love ya
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 couldnt believe you kept a smile
B A
Now I can rest assured knowing that weve seen the worst
A E A E
And I know I love ya

But Ill teach you one day

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

I felt ashamed I felt Id let you down

No mandolin wind couldnt change a thing
A B A
Couldnt change a thing no, no
