A cool evening dance
D                       Am7               C
Listenin' to the bluegrass band takes the chill

From the air until they play the last song
G
I'll do my time

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

    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

[Verse 2]
And if I should [C] falter
Would you open your [G] arms out to me
We can make love, not [E] war
And live at peace with our [F] hearts
 
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so in [C] love with you
I'll be for [G] ever blue
What religion or [F] reason
Could drive a man to for 
[Am] sake his lover

Don't you tell me no, don't you tell me no
