[Verse 1]
G D C G
Well the night was long, and the liquor was strong
C G D
I was feelin' alright next to you
G D C G
Spendin' my nights, back in Louisiana
C D G
With a love that I thought I knew
[Verse 2]
G D C G
We'd walk to the top, of the hickory hills
C G D
Lovin' in the pourin' rain
G D C G
Illuminated by the light of the moon
C D G
And in that moment I forgot my name
[Chorus]
C G C G
Oh we were singin' to the river, watchin' the willows sway
C G
Oh with the starlight fallin' on us
D C G
Magnolia why'd you run away
[Verse 3]
G D C G
Where have you gone, I've searched for too long
C G D
Looked up your name time to time
G D C G
But all that I find is that I'm loosin' my mind
C D G
From the memory of you that I claim
[Verse 4]
G D C G
But oh what a sight, in a lace dress so white
C G D
Swept up the moss from the floor
G D C G
Sometimes I still see your silhouette out in the night
C D G
But by mornin' she aint there anymore
[Chorus]
C G C G
Oh we were singin' to the river, watchin' the willows sway
C G
Oh with the starlight fallin' on us
D C G
Magnolia why'd you run away
C G C G
Oh we were dancin' in the moonlight, til the mornin' came
C G
Oh I been tryin' to find my way back to you dear
D C G
Magnolia why'd you run away
[Verse 5]
G D C G
Well the night is long, and the liquor is strong
C G D
And tonight I'm feelin' blue
G D C G
My memory takes me back to Louisiana
C D G
To the love that I thought I knew
[Chorus]
C G C G
Oh we were singin' to the river, watchin' the willows sway
C G
Oh with the starlight fallin' on us
D C G
Magnolia why'd you run away
C G C G
Oh we were dancin' in the moonlight, til the mornin' came
C G
Oh I been tryin' to find my way back to you dear
D C G
Magnolia why'd you run away
C G
Oh I been tryin' to find my way back to you dear
D C G
Magnolia why'd you run away
