MANDOLIN RAIN - BRUCE HORNSBY - (No capo)
G/B G/B Am G/B D Am G/B C
The song came and went Like the times that we spent Hiding out
D C G/B D G Am G/B
from the rain under the carnival tent I laughed and he smiled
D Am G/B C D C G/B
It would last for a while You don't know what you got till you lose it all again
Chorus
Am7 G/B Em7 D
Listen to the mandolin rain, Listen to the music on the lake
G/B Am7 G/B C G/B
Listen to my heart break every time he goes away
Am7 G/B Em7 D
Listen to the banjo wind A sad song drifting low
G/B Am7 G/B C G/B D
Listen to the tears roll down my face as he turns to go
G/B G/B Am G/B D C G/B C
A cool evening dance Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
D C G/B D G/B G/B Am G/B D Am
From the air till they play the last song I'll do my time Keeping you off my mind
C D C G/B
But there's moments that I find, I'm not feeling too strong CHORUS
- Bridge:
F C Am7 C D
Running on down by the lake shore He did love the sound of a summer storm
F C Am7 C D
(Playin on the lake) like a mandolin Now its washing him away once again
Am7 G Em7 D Am7 G C G D
Whoa Again CHORUS
G/B G/B Am G/B D Am7 G/B C D
Boat's steaming in I watch the sidewheel spin and I think about him when
C G/B D G/B Am G/B D Am7 G/B C
I hear the whistle blow I can't change my mind I knew all the time that he'd go
D Am7 G/B
But that's a choice I made long ago CHORUS

G G/F Em G7/D C C/B Am
I've spent my whole lifetime in a world where the sunshine made excuses for not hanging 'round
D7 C D7/B D7 D7/B G
I've squandered emotions on the slightest of notions and the first easy loving I've found
G G/F Em G7/D C C/B Am
Soon all the good times, the gay times and play times like colors run together and fade
Chorus:
D7 C D7/B D7
Oh Lord if you hear me, touch me and hold me
D7/B G
and keep me from blowing away
G G/F Em G7/D C C/B Am
There’s times that I've trembled and my mind's remembered the days that just crumbled away
D7 C D7/B D7 D7/B G
With nothing to show but these lines that I know are beginning to show in my face
G G/F Em G7/D C C/B Am
So Lord if you're listenin' you know I'm no christian and I ain't got much coming to me
D7 C D7/B D7 D7/B G
So send down some sunshine, throw out a lifeline And keep me from blowing away CHORUS

G C G Em D G
We are the blood inside the man Rivers flowing to and from
G C G Em D G
The mouth of the mighty ghost To the eyes of the setting sun
Em C
(These hearts beat for the land and sky) and things that go unseen
G C G Em D G
In due time may we come to know, see these things we do not see
Em D G Em D G
My love, she walks a tight rope ( If she falls she'll fly) , I know this to be true
C G Em G C D G C G Em D G
But if she reaches the other side She'll climb even higher Than the crescent moon
G C G Em D G
We are the dreams and walk right through, the stories told with such
C Em D G
Wisdom gained of mirth and loss, of pain and joy and lust
Em C
We are the lungs we breath for dance, for trance, and mystery
G C G Em D G
We are the breath we take it in, and let it go out as we please
Em G CG Em C G C G
This heart Is a steam engine baby And love is you
Em G CG Em D G C G Em D G
This heart Is a steam engine baby And love is you
G C G Em D G
We sing our songs in the midst of pain, break on down the walls
G C G Em D G
Sometimes we rise above, and look out across it all
Em C
Sometimes we lose the plots, for this we pray
G C G Em D G
In a way that it was never taught, somehow it'll be okay
