[Verse]
G                     
The song came and went
         D                  
Like the times that we spent
G      C            D              C             G
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent ■
D G                        
■ I laughed and she'd smile
         D        C     
It would last for awhile
G         C             D                    C   G    
You don't know what you got till you lose it all again


[Chorus]
D             Am7           G
Listen to the mandolin rain ■
              Em7          D   
Listen to the music on the lake
G            Am7         G                C         G
Listen to my heart break ■ every time she runs away ■
D             Am7       
Listen to the banjo wind
  G          Em7          D
A ■ sad song drifting low ■
G         Am7            G
Listen to the tears roll ■
                    C           G
Down my face as she turns to go ■


[Verse]
D G                   
■ A cool evening dance
D                          G    C G         C    
Listening to the bluegrass band ■ takes the chill
         D             G                  D
From the air 'til they play the last song ■
G                
■ I'll do my time
D                  G                C      
Keeping you off my mind but there's moments
       D            C          G     
That I find I'm not feeling so strong


[Chorus]
D             Am7      G   
Listen to the mandolin rain
              Em7          D   
Listen to the music on the lake
G            Am7         G              C         G
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away ■
D             Am7       
Listen to the banjo wind
  G          Em7          D
A ■ sad song drifting low ■
G         Am7           
Listen to the tears roll
G                     C          
■ Down my face as she turns to go
G       D F           C         
Running ■ down by the lake shore
    G                       C      D    
She did love the sound of a summer storm
F                            C       
It played on the lake like a mandolin
         G           Em7  C    
Now it's washing her away again
          D                
Listen to the mandolin rain
              G                
Listen to the music on the lake

[Verse]
                    G  
A sad song drifting low
       G                
Listen to the tears roll
D                              
Down my face as she turns to go
           G          
The boat's steaming in
C G                              
I watch the side wheel spin and I
C               D           Em7          G    D
Think about her when I hear that whistle blow ■
G                     
I can't change my mind
D              C    G          C 
I knew all the time that she'd go
             D             C       
But that's a choice I made long ago


[Chorus]
D             Am7      G   
Listen to the mandolin rain
              Em7      G     D   
Listen to the music on ■ the lake
G            Am7         G              C         G
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away ■
D             Am7   G   
Listen to the banjo wind
           Em7          D
A sad song drifting low ■
G             Am7        G
Listen to the tears roll ■
                    C          
Down my face as she turns to go
G D Am7 G Em7 D G Am7
