Verse 1:

        Bb    C              F
Dear Magnolia, I lend you my ear

             Bb          C              F     Am
Whisper your stories and secrets hidden here

                Bb   Dm    C          G7    Gm
Of a south that rose, of a south that fell

             F     Bbm           Gm    F
Your days of glory, your days of Hell

Verse 2:

             Bb     C              F
We'll weep together, praise to the lord

             Bb         C            F       Am
Raise up our voices and lay down our swords

                   Bb    Dm     C           G7     Gm
To the souls we've lost, to the souls we've found

                       F         Bbm                     Gm      A7   Dm
Though they never stop asking us, did you really have to take us down

Chorus:

             C        Bb                F
Heavy-headed blossoms, fragrant as they fall

    Bb              Am
For I have wandered through the door

   Bb             A7        Dm
Of everything you stand for

             C        Bb            F
Heavy-headed blossoms, gracefully reveal

Dm               C               Bbm
That which I had always felt was missing

                       Gm7
Like the rolling dreams of a wagonless wheel

Verse 3:

              Bb   C          F
Your sweet survival has given rise

          Bb         C          F     Am
Unto your wisdom and yet you realize

                       Bb   Dm        C        G7    Gm
Although your arms are long, and your reach is wide

            F             Bbm             Gm                  F
Within your deepest scars, there are some snakes still hiding

Verse 4:

           Bb    C              F
So Dear Magnolia, I pledge my return

               Bb                C           F     Am
To the hills between us on which fires still burn

                      Bb    Dm        C     G7    Gm
There we'll stand our ground 'til the moon above

              F                 Bbm     Gm      A7   Dm
Comes shining through the smoke, in the name of love

Chorus:

             C        Bb                F
Heavy-headed blossoms, fragrant as they fall

    Bb              Am
For I have wandered through the door

   Bb             A7        Dm
Of everything you stand for

             C        Bb            F
Heavy-headed blossoms, gracefully reveal

Dm               C               Bbm
That which I had always felt was missing

                       Gm7
Like the rolling dreams of a wagonless wheel
