                                         C                 G
We were gathered 'round the garbage can, passin' round the bottle

        C                   G               A7            D    D7
We were cold and burnin' anything, that was dry enough to burn

  G                                   C              G
A shiverin' man said he had left, his family back in Boston

                                      D                 G     G
And I knew I'd hear a whole lot more, before it came my turn
[Verse 2]
                                          C                G
A bearded man in an army coat, said: "The answer boys is Jesus"

    C                          G             A7      D     D7
And one called Joe, said: "All I know, ain't January hell"

G                                    C            G
One guy said: "Let's have a drink to Flagstaff Arizona"

                                         D               G
I thought I'd nearly freezed to death, before i'd get to tell
[Chorus]
             C             G
'Bout Mobile Bay, magnolia blossoms

     Am             C       G
Cool summer nights, warm rollin' sea

            C                 G
And all the dreams, somewhere I'd lost 'em

       Am            C       D7      G      G
Mobile Bay, magnolia leaves, sweet Rosalee
[Verse 3]
                                       C                G
As daylight broke that mornin', on the wrong side of Chicago

C               G          A7           D        D7
He was cold and hungry and all the wine was gone

G                                   C               G
People passed and pointed 'n said: "There's another wino"

                                         D                     G
They didn't know that one last time, his dreams would take him home
[Chorus]
           C                  G
Back to, Mobile Bay, magnolia blossoms

     Am             C       G
Cool summer nights, warm rollin' sea

           C                   G
And all my dreams, somewhere I lost 'em

       Am            C       D7      G      G
Mobile Bay, magnolia leaves, sweet Rosalee
