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:
The Gsong came and wDent Like the tAmimes that we spCent
hiding Emout from the rDain under the Csus4carnival tent. G I Glaughed and she Dsmiled.
It would Amlast for awhCile. You don't kEmnow what you gDot till you lose it all Csus4again. G
Chorus:
Listen to the MAmandolin Rain. G Listen to the mEmusic on the lake D
Listen to my Amheart break G everytime she Emruns away D
Listen to the Ambanjo wind G A sad song dEmrifting low D
Listen to the tCears roll G down my face as she Cturns to go. G
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:
FRunning on down by the lCakeshore She did lDove the sound of a sGummer storm
FPlaying on the lake like a mCandolin Now it's wDashing her awGay once agDain
(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!
