Sweet Magnolia
Dan Fogelberg (c) 1984
C E7 Am7 Em7
Two hearts throwing off sparks
Fmaj7 Dm7 F G
Young and in love with our freedom
C E7 Am7 D7
Moonlight, those soft summer nights
F G4 G C
We were both ripe to fall
C E7 Am7 Em7
I was out on my own
Fmaj7 Dm7 F G
Playing for all who would listen
C E7 Am7 D7
You were as free as a bird
F G4 G C
flying from nest to nest
C C/B
Am7 Em7
But somewhere our eyes met
Fmaj7
And our hands reached out
Dm7 G4 G
and we felt a kindred spirit
Am7 Em7
And as our faces touched
Fmaj7
I could feel the fire
Dm7 G4 G
And needed so to just be near it
C E7 Am7 Em7
Oh Lord, those moments we soared
Fmaj7 Dm7 F G
Borne on the wings of our passion
C E7 Am7 D7
It seemed then like they'd never end
F G4 G C
But times like that always must
C C/B
Am7 Em7
'cause then one day I flew
Fmaj7
far away from you
Dm7 G4 G
I never knew how I'd regret it
Am7 Em7
My sweet Magnolia belle
Fmaj7
You know I loved you well
Dm7 G4 G
Even if I never said it
[Instrumental verse]
Am7 Em7
Magnolia, now I see
Fmaj7
that freedom isn't free
Dm7 G4 G
and love's the only true redeemer
Am7 Em7
And when this journey's through
Fmaj7
I'll be coming home for you
Dm7 G4 G
If you'll have this foolish dreamer
C E7 Am7 Em7
I spend a night now and then
Fmaj7 Dm7 F G
Passing through town on my travels
C E7
But someday,
Am7 D7
I'm gonna come back to stay
F G4 G C
Magnolia, I'm coming home.
C Fmaj7 G7, C Fmaj7 G7 C.
