Biography:
Bruce Randall Hornsby (born November 23, 1954 in Williamsburg, Virginia) is an American singer, virtuoso pianist, accordion player, and songwriter. He is probably best known for his 1980s signature song "The Way It Is" and the top five hits "Mandolin Rain," and "The Valley Road", all recorded as Bruce Hornsby & The Range, and for his long association with the Grateful Dead. In some of his solo albums (from 1993) he moved in a less commercial, more musically-challenging direction.

the other posts for Mandolin Rain...
Intro:
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 D Am C Cadd9 G x2
G D
The song came and went,
Am C
like the times that we spent,
G D C G
hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
G D
I laughed and she’d smile,
Am C
it would last for a while,
G D C G
you don't know what you got, till you lose it all again
D Cadd9 G
Listen to the mandolin rain,
Cadd9 D
listen to the music on the lake;
Am C G Cadd9 G
Ahh listen to my heart break, every time she runs away
D Cadd9 G
Ohh Listen to the banjo wind,
Cadd9 D
a sad song drifting low,
Am C G Cadd9 G D
listen to the tears roll, down my face as she turns to go
G D
A cool evening dance,
Am C G
listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
D C G
from the air, till they play the last song
G D
I'll do my time,
Am C
Ohhh keeping you off my mind;
G D C G
but there's moments that I find, I'm not feeling so strong
D Cadd9 G
Listen to the mandolin rain,
Cadd9 D
listen to the music on the lake;
Am C G Cadd9 G

D Cadd9 G
Ohh Listen to the banjo wind,
Cadd9 D
a sad song drifting low,
Am C G Cadd9 G D
listen to the tears roll, down my face as she turns to go
F C
Running down by the lakeshore,
D Am C D
she did love the sound of a summer storm
F C
Playing on the lake like a mandolin,
Am C G D
now it's washing her away once again
Solo:
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 D Am C G Cadd9 G D x2
G D
The boat's steaming in,
Am C
ohh watch the side wheel spin, and
G D C G
I think about her when I hear the whistle blow
G D
I can't change my mind,
Am C G
Ohh I knew all the time that she'd go;
D C G
but that's a choice I made long ago
D Cadd9 G
