	        E                                  A         E 
It was late in the evenin', just a few of us pickin' 
        A        E         A        B    E  B  
But the lady she played so easy and fine 
         E                                A          E 
And the chords that she strummed were so tastefully clever 
     F#m          Abm     F#m  Em 
They planted this song in my   mind 

A E 'Cause there's somethin' so feminine about a mandolin A E A B E B The way that they feel, the way that they ring E A Just to see slender fingers, movin' so quickly F#m Abm F#m E Made this boy want to sing
And when I get older and I have a daughter I'll teach her to sing and play her my songs And I'll tell her some stories I can barely remember And hope that she will sing along And maybe one day she'll take a fancy to pickin' 'Cause when that bug bites you, you live with the sting And if she could just strum a few simple measures She could make some young man sing 'Cause there's somethin' so feminine about a mandolin Way that they feel, the way that they ring And that evenin' in a pasture somewhere near Austin That mandolin made me sing Her mandolin made me sing
