Mandolin Rain chords

This probably isn't 100% right, but I'm pretty sure it's more correct than any of 
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
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 

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                     
Listen to the mandolin rain,

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    
listen to the tears roll, down my face as she turns to go 
                Cadd9 G C G Cadd9 D Cadd9 G
As she turns to go 
G                        Cadd9      D   Cadd9 G C G Cadd9 D Cadd9 G
