[Am] [G] [D]
[G] Song came and went [D] like the [Am] times that we [G] spent
[C] Hiding out [D] from the rain [Em] under the [G] content
[D]
[G] Laughed and she'd smile, [D] it would last [C] for [G] a while
[C] You don't know [D] what you got till [Em] you lose it all [G] again
[D]
[C] Listen to the band [G] you're in, listen to the music [D] on the way
[G]
[Am] Listen to [G] my heart break, [D] [G] every time she runs away
[D]
Listen to [C] the band [G] you're in, sad, sad and drifting [D] along
[G]
[Am] Listen to [G] the tears roll down my face as she turns to go
[D] A [G] cool evening [D] dance, listen to the bluegrass [G]
[C] band
Takes the chill [D] from the air [G] until they play the last [D] song
[G] I'll do my time, [D] oh, keeping you off [G] my [C] mind
But there's moments [D] that I find [G] I'm not feeling so [D] strong
[Am] Listen to the band [G] you're in, listen to the music [D] on the way
[G]
[Am] Listen to [G] my heart break, every time she runs away

[C] Listen to the band [G] you're in, sad, sad and drifting [D] along
[G]
[Am] Listen to the tears [G] roll down my face as she turns to go
[D]
[F] Running [C] down the lake [G] shore, she didn't love [C] the sound [D] of a summer [F] storm
Lay [C] on the lake like a [G] mandolin, now it's washing [Em] her [C] away [D] once [D] again [G] [Am] Once [G] again
[Em] [D] [G]
Once
[Em] [D] [G] [Am] [G]
[C] again
[G] [D] [G] Boats steaming in, [D] oh, watch the side wheels [Am] [C] spin
And I think [D] about her when [Em] I hear that whistle [G] blow
[D] [G] I can't change my mind, [D] oh, I do all the [C] time as she goes
[D] But that's a choice [G] I made long ago
[D] [Am] Listen [G] to the mandolin, listen to the music [D] on the way
[G] [C] Listen [G] to my heart break, every time she runs away
[D] [C] Listen to the band [G] you're in, [Em] sad, sad and drifting [D] along
[G] [Am] Listen to the [G] tears roll [C] down my face [G] as she turns to go
As [D] she turns [C] to go
[G]
[D] [G] [Am] Listen [G] to, listen to the mandolin ring
[D] And you won't [C] find
