Magdalena Lyrics

'Magdalena' by Ian Moore
from the "Damn, It's Early" albulm
(for those that don't know, it's an albulm of live performances from a morning radio show in Austin, TX)
G(II) G/F# Em
Well the morning is fading.... to the day
G(II) G/F# Em
And I lie here and watch as you.... fade away
And the stillness holds me down like a thief
And it robs me of my peace
But it's all for the love.... of Magdalena
G(II) G/F# Em
And she is a river.... for my eyes
G(II) G/F# Em
I grasp at her beauty.... she floats right on by
Any man should know.... such sorrow
Yeah my tears they know no pain, ooooh
It's all for the love.... of Magdalena
B7 Cadd9 G(II)
And her scent that she leaves behind, well it tempts me where I lay yeah
B7 Cadd9 G(II)
Empty promises leave me wondering where she went astray
Cadd9 G(II) Am(II) G(II)
And she flickers, and she fades oooh oh she fades, hey.... 3 4
G(II) G/F# Em
G(II) G/F# Em
Ooooh Ooooh
Ooooh Ooooh
G(II) G/F# Em
The morning is fading.... to the day
G(II) G/F# Em
And I lie here and watch.... as you fade, as you fade away, hey
Leave the things as they need to be yeah
Ooooh but some things are not for me yeah, but its uh
But it's all for the love....
It's all for the love, yeaah It's all for the love
It's all for the love, it's all for the love, yeah
G(II) 3 2 0 0 3 3
G/F# 2 2 0 0 3 3
Am(II) 5 7 7 5 5 5
He throws in a high barre G chord (root on the 10th fret of A string) at the end of the first verse
also this little fill he does as he's transitioning from Em's to the next chord:
That's about it. Listen to it to get all the timing down. A friend and I are working on the solo.....
