Am G Em7 D - Am7 G C G 
 
[Verse - No drums - just pluck chords and sustain]
D     G
  The song came and went
         D             Am7
Like the times that we spent
       C            D              C             G     D
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
  G
I laughed and she'd smile
         D         Am7
It would last for awhile
          C                D                    C         G
You don't know what you've got till you lose it all again
 
[Chorus - Full drums]
D             Am           G
Listen to the mandolin rain
              Em7               D
Listen to the music on the lake
                 Am7        G                C         G
Oh, listen to my heart break every time she  runs away
    D             Am        G
Oh, listen to the banjo wind
           Em7          D
A sad song drifting low
              Am7       G
Listen to the tears roll
                    C          G   D
Down my face as she turns to go
 
[Verse 2 - No drums]
  G
A cool evening dance
D                       Am7               C
Listenin' to the bluegrass band takes the chill
         D              C                 G   D
From the air until they play the last song
G
I'll do my time
    D                  Am7              C
Oh, keeping you off my mind but there's moments
       D             C                 G
That I find, I'm not feeling so strong

[Chorus]
D             Am          G
Listen to the mandolin rain
              Em7              D
Listen to the music on the lake

A sad song drifting low
              Am7       G
Listen to the tears roll
                    C          G   D
Down my face as she turns to go
 
[Bridge]
F                   C
Runnin' down by the lakeshore
        Bm7                 Cmaj7  D
She did love the sound of a summer storm
F                          C
Playing on the lake like a mandolin
         Bm7          Em  C    D     D
Now it's washing her away once a     gain...whoa, again
 
[Solo - Vocal improv - Play high chords]
Am G Em7 D - Am7 G C G (D)
Am G Em7 D - Am7 G C G (D)
  
[Verse 3]
    G
The boat's steaming in
      D                   Am7
Oh, I watch the sidewheel spin
      C               D                C            G   D
And I think about her when I hear that whistle blow
G
I can't change my mind
      D            Am7             C
Oh, I knew all the time that she'd go
             D             C         G
But that's a choice I made long ago
 
[Chorus]
D             Am           G
Listen to the mandolin rain
              Em7               D
Listen to the music on the lake
                 Am7        G               C         G
Oh, listen to my heart break every time she runs away
    D             Am        G
Oh, listen to the banjo wind
           Em7         D
A sad song drifting low
              Am7       G
Listen to the tears roll
                    C           G
Down my face as she turns to go
                D
As she turns to go
