Chord/Tab song: Magnolia

Magnolia
Charlie Robison



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


[D]I drove all day to [G]North Mississi[D]ppi
[D]I drove all night to the [E]place I call [A]home
[D]I hope that Johnny's stil[G]l waitin' there [D]for me
[D]To take me beside him and [A]call me hi[D]s own

Chorus:
[G]But it's too late[D] now
[G]It's too late [D]now
[G]The smell of mag[D]nolias
[G]Still sweet in my [D]mouth
[G]And I know it'[A]s too lat[D]e 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
