Standard (EADGBE)

Two hearts throwing off sparks

Young and in love with our freedom

Moonlight, those soft summer nights

We were both ripe to fall

I was out on my own

Playing for all who would listen

You were as free as a bird

flying from nest to nest

But somewhere our eyes met

 And our hands reached out

 and we felt a kindred spirit

And as our faces touched

 I could feel the fire

 And needed so to just be near it

Oh Lord, those moments we soared

Borne on the wings of our passion

It seemed then like they'd never end

 But times like that always must

'cause then one day I flew

 far away from you

 I never knew how I'd regret it

My sweet Magnolia belle

 You know I loved you well

 Even if I never said it

Instrumental verse

Magnolia, now I see

 that freedom isn't free

 and love's the only true redeemer

And when this journey's through

 I'll be coming home for you

 If you'll have this foolish dreamer

I spend a night now and then

Passing through town on my travels

But someday,

 I'm gonna come back to stay

 Magnolia, I'm coming home.
