I noticed that nobody had put up a tab for this song and I thought I might have a go.
It's not perfect but I think it sounds alright.

Capo 5

VERSE
C majorC                       G+G
Nice to meet you boy, I know your momma knows,
                          A minorAm
I fell in love with her, seven thousand summers ago,

I was a runner kid, a too much too heartily kid,
 FF                 G+G
Your momma helped me out, and now, here to pay the due back, though.

C majorC                       G+G
Nice to meet you boy, I knew your momma's song
                        A minorAm
I knew how she would move along to every rhythm

I know she'll do her best for you, she wants to get the rest of you,
 FF               G+G
Now here to take care of you, whatever you need to come on through,

INSTRUMENTAL
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF G+G


VERSE
C majorC                  G+G
Sad, juiced up, loose cannon fodder,
                A minorAm
We used to be happily, savagery,

fell rapidly into love telepathy,
   FF              G+G
I must admit, before I slipped, your mother knew the best of me.

C majorC                 G+G
Mad, clued up, we were not lovers,
                    A minorAm
Band of brothers, sister, easy company,

Didn't tell me she was sick until she wrote to me,
    FF                 G+G
Then out the blue, the years we knew they all come flooding back to me,

CHORUS
C majorC
Magnolia melan-call-it-love,
G+G           A minorAm
magnolia melancholia,
              FF
Magnolia melan-call-it-love,
     G+G
magnolia melancholia,


VERSE
C majorC                             G+G
Like how she smiled and how I cried and how I finally felt,

Like how I lied and how we died, inside the Chelsea Hotel,
A minorAm                             FF
Could tell that when she told me I had never had a broken heart,
              G+G
Well I was mad, I said a couple of things I shouldn't of,

C majorC                             G+G
We didn't talk for years, it's clear to me I was ostracised,
                             A minorAm
Threw me out a heart, a head, a soul, a whole damn life,

I'm sittin' on the other side of London penance for shit,
FF             G+G
Guess it's all just hurt too much for her to deal with it,

C majorC                       G+G
Nice to meet you boy, I know your momma knows,
                         A minorAm
I fell in love with her, seven thousand summers ago,

I was a runner kid, a too much too heartily kid,
   FF                 G+G
Your momma helped me out, and now, here to pay the due back, though,

C majorC                     G+G
Nice to meet you boy, I knew your momma's song
                        A minorAm
I knew how she would move along to every rhythm

I know she'll do her best for you, she wants to get the rest of you,
  FF              G+G
Now here to take care of you, whatever you need to come on through,

BRIDGE
C majorC               G+G           A minorAm
    This is just a story I tell, she's alive and well,
         FF
Somewhere in the city swell,

C majorC                G+G
    I guess I just miss my friend,
        A minorAm
As for the broken heart,
           FF
it grates every time I start,

C majorC              G+G
    I guess I just miss my friend,
          A minorAm
that's with a broken heart,
           FF
it grates every time I start,

C majorC              G+G
    I guess I just miss my friend,
          A minorAm
that's with a broken heart,
           FF
it grates every time I start,

C majorC              G+G
    I guess I just miss my friend,
          A minorAm
that's with a broken heart,
           FF
it grates every time I start,


INSTRUMENTAL
(C majorC G+G A minorAm FF G+G) X2
End on one strum of C majorC
