MANDOLIN WIND ROD STEWART A = 056770 B = 078990 F#m = 044300 B A F#m B ( x 2 ) A E 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'll ever know B Cause the Mandolin wind couldn't A F#m E change a thing then I know I lo..ve ya. A E Oh the snow fell without a break buffalo died in the frozen fields you know. Through the coldest winter in almost 14 years I couldn't believe you kept a smile. Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst and I know I love ya. Oh I never was good with romantic words so the next few lines come really hard don't have much but what I've got is yours except of course my steel guitar Ha cause I know you don't play it but I'll teach one day because I love ya. A E ( x 4 ) B A F# B ( x 2 ) A E I recall the night we knelt and prayed noticing your face was thin and pale I found it hard to hide my tears I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down B A no mandolin wind couldn't change a thing F#m B couldn't change a thing no, no. B A F#m B B A F#m B La dadada la da la dadada La dadada la dada B A F#m B B A The coldest winter in almost 14 years F#m B years never never change your mind. B A F#m B And I love ya yes indeed I love ya B A F#m B And I love ya glory I love ya.
