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.
