[Verse 1]
        D          D7
It was late in the evenin'
        G        D
Just a few of us pickin',
        G        D
But the lady she played
   G        A7sus    A7
So easy and fine.
        D               D7
And the chords that she strummed
        G          D7
Were so tastefully clever,
  Em              A7          D A7
They planted this song in my mind.
 
[Chorus]
                D             D7
'Cause there's something so feminine
G          D
about a mandolin,
    G              D
The way that they feel,
    G              A7sus A7
The way that they ring.
        D           D7
Just to see slender fingers,
G         D
Movin' so quickly,
G         A7           D  A7
Made this boy want to sing.
 
[Verse 2]
    D           D7
And when I get older and
G         D
I have a daughter,
      G            D
I'll teach her to sing, and
  G        A7sus A7
play her my songs
         D              D7
And I'll tell her some stories
         G      D
I can barely remember
     Em                 A7   D   A7
And hope that she will sing along.
 
[Verse 3]
D         D7                G        D          (see riff)
Maybe one day she'll take a fancy to pickin',
        G            D
'Cause when that bug bites you,
    G             A7sus  A7
You live with the sting.
        D              D7
And if she could just strum
   G            D
a few simple measures
 
Em                    A7       D  A7
She could make some young man sing.
 
[Chorus 2]
                D             D7
'Cause there's something so feminine
G         D
about a mandolin,
    G             D
The way that they feel,
    G             A7sus A7
The way that they ring.
         D             D7
And that evening in a pasture,
G               D
Somewhere near Austin.
Em              A7     D
That mandolin made me sing,
Em             A7     D
Her mandolin made me sing.
