Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Cuz I love you so, you're so good to me
I'm gonna plant a magnolia tree
And it will grow tall and we will grow old
And I'm gonna dig us a deep wide hole
Magnolia Tree
I will go first and you will join me
There in the shade of that Magnolia tree
You in a dress and me in a suit
We'll lie together in that tangled root
Magnolia tree
Our flesh will rot but our bones will not scatter
Those tangle roots will bind us together
In life we are married by preacher and church
In death we'll be married by that rich black dirt
Magnolia tree
When we are gone our children will come
In the pouring rain and the burning sun
They will find comfort in our memory
In the shade and shelter of that tree
Magnolia tree
I love you so you're so good to me
I'm gonna plant a magnolia tree
It will grow tall and we will grow old
So I'm gonna dig us a deep wide hole
Magnolia tree
