Charlie Robison - Magnolia guitar chord

Magnolia

Charlie Robison

Beginning: G-D-G-D-G-A-D

D G D

I drove all day to North Mississippi

D E A

I drove all night to the place I call home

D G D

I hope that Johnny’s still waitin’ there for me

D A D

To take me beside him and call me his own

Chorus:

G D

But it’s too late now

G D

It’s too late now

G D

The smell of magnolias

G D

Still sweet in my mouth

G A D

And I know it’s too late now

Johnny got mean when he started drinkin’

And it wasn’t nobody’s fault when he cried

So I left one mornin’ from North Mississippi

Cause I couldn’t stand to tell mama I lied

Chorus

Johnny took no time to ask me to marry

And I said I would though I knew it was wrong

They played Hank Williams in North Mississippi

And I played the same girl I had all along

Chorus

Early one mornin’ in North Mississippi

I swore that I could hear somebody cry

But it wasn’t my Johnny from North Mississippi

All dressed up in orange on the day that I died

Chorus:

But it’s too late now

It’s too late now

The smell of magnolias

Now gone from my mouth

And I know it’s too late now
