Mandolin Rain

there are a few versions on the web that aren’t true to the song in either chords used timing of the changes . this is my first attempt at trying to nail down the problems for who wants to learn this song , but can’t find an accurate leadsheet for it . listen to the for the overall timing and tempo . feel free to comment . Intro : Am - G - Em - D ( x2 ) Am - G - Em - Csus4 ( 3rd time into Verse ) Verse 1 : G D the song came and went Am C like the times that we spent Em D Csus4 G hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent . G D i laughed and she smiled . Am C it would last for awhile . Em D Csus4 G you don’t know what you got till you lose it all again . Chorus : Am G listen to the mandolin rain . Em D listen to the music on the lake Am G listen to my heart break Em D everytime she runs away Am G listen to the banjo wind Em D a sad song drifting low C G listen to the tears roll C G down my face as she turns to go . Verse 2 : a cool evening dance listenin’ to the bluegrass band takes the chill from the air till they play the last song . i’ll do my time ( ohh ) keeping you off my mind . but there are moments that i find i’m not feeling too strong ( repeat Chorus ) Bridge : F C running on down by the lakeshore D G she did love the sound of a summer storm F C playing on the lake like a mandolin D G D now it’s washing her away once again ( repeat Chorus ) Verse 3 : the boat’s steaming in i watch the sidewheel spin and i think about her when i hear the whistle blow i can’t change my mind i knew all the time that she’d go but that’s a choice i made long ago ( repeat Chorus ) ( end ) bruce hornsby sings behind the beat a lot and it may tie up some people not really to singing and playing at the same time . keep in mind that he also wrote this song on A so there are a ton of little fills and addEd notes ( suspended and resolved ) that you can on your own , but for the sake of cleanliness i won’t tab out . i will warn you that the has a lot of odd time - changes and while i could try to type out the rhythm as close as i but it’s best to just use the chords there and place them on your own . play this song with some heart!
