Magnolia

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
