[Verse]
         A                         E    
When the rain came I thought you'd leave
              A                      E  
'cause I knew how much you loved the sun
        A                           E      
But you chose to stay stay and keep me warm
            A                        E    
Through the darkest nights I've ever known
       B            
If the mandolin wind
         A             
Couldn't change a thing
                   E 
Then I know I love ya
A E E A E

       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 couldn't believe you kept a smile
          B           
Now I can rest assured
                   Gbm7     A    
Knowing that we've seen the worst
      Bsus4  E      
And I know I love ya
A E A E
■ ■ ■ ■
A                        E             
Oh I never was good with romantic words
A                          E          
So the next few lines come really hard


[Chorus]
A                        E                
Don't have much but what I've got is yours
A                         E     
Except of course my steel guitar
   B                           
Ha 'cause I know you don't play
A                         
But I'll teach you one day
E                
Because I love ya

[Verse]
  Bsus4               E               
I recall the night we knelt and prayed
                       E            
Noticing your face was thin and pale
           Bsus4           E    
I found it hard to hide my tears
A                         E           
I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down
B               
No mandolin wind
A                      
Couldn't change a thing
Gbm7                       B 
Couldn't change a thing no no

A          Gbm7     
Oohooh And I love ya
Gbm7                    
Yes indeed and I love ya
      B      
And I love ya


[Outro]
        B      
Lordy I love ya

Whoooohooh And I love ya
               Gbm7 B A
Lord I love ya ■    ■ ■
