🎸 Verse 1:
                     Bm
The train wheels are clacking
    D          G
Old men chew tobacco
  D              Bm         G              A
A string band is playing an old late night song
    D         Bm
The fiddle is crying
    D              G
The night, she’s a-dying
D            Bm           A          D
Sunrise will take us back where we belong.

🎸 Chorus:
    G                      D
And I’ve got a girl named Irene
      G/D       D         A
She’s pretty as I’ve ever seen
      G                      D        Bm
We’re dancing in each others thoughts
          D              A        D
While the band plays the Magnolia Waltz.


🎸 Verse 2:
              Bm
The fireflies flicker
    D              G
The band sip their liquor
    D           Bm         G           A
And fight about how a song ought to be played
     D            Bm
We ignore all the violence
    D            G
And sit in sweet silence
 D           Bm           A           D
Above us the moonlight is starting to fade.

🎸 Chorus:
    G                      D
And I’ve got a girl named Irene
      G/D       D         A
She’s pretty as I’ve ever seen
      G                      D        Bm
We’re dancing in each others thoughts
          D              A        D
While the band plays the Magnolia Waltz.

🎸 Bridge:
Bm                      D
 Come along, girl, with me
    Bm                      G         A
And if you get lost you can follow my lead.

D Bm D G D Bm A D

🎸 Verse 3:
               Bm
Night turns to day
      D            G
We go our separate ways
    D           Bm           G             A
The dew sets as light as the old fiddler’s bow
        D           Bm
There’s no need for sorrow
        D           G
We’ll return on the morrow
    D               Bm                  A             D
The band plays each night, there’s just one song they know.

🎸 Chorus:
    G                      D
And I’ve got a girl named Irene
      G/D       D         A
She’s pretty as I’ve ever seen
      G                      D        Bm
We’re dancing in each others thoughts
          D              A        D      G
While the band plays the Magnolia Waltz.
          D              A        D
