Hoge Will - Sweet Magdeline Chords & Tabs

TITLE:  Sweet Magdeline 
ARTIST:  Will Hoge
ALBUM:  Carousel

VERSE 1

E
here we sit again and tales begin to spin 

          A
about the things that we've done and seen 

E
stories of wine glutton and glory 

           A
and the occasional altered dreams 

E
appetites for memories grow 

       A
as the sunshine begins to fade 

E
cross the hill it's the same old chill 

        A 
lurking right there in the shade 


VERSE 2


just as a child with bright eyes and a smile 
laughter was all she knew 
mama was away and all papa did was pray 
so the wanderlust slowly grew 
she spread her wings and a couple other things 
for the medicine man downtown 
with his bottle of elixir he said that he'd fix her 
and soon she was going down

(chorus) 
G G# A                  C       C#       D
       and everything begins to look the same 

G G# A                        C        C#   D
       feel the burn from the same old evil flame 

G G# A                C         C#        D
       we watched her fall from sweet and kind 

      D                   C                  G G# A
and i wish she could come back sweet magdeline 


VERSE 3
she was gone on a bad trip followed by a needle and a silver spoon 
mama sat and cried and papa told us lies said she'd be back real soon 
suddenly the seasons changed from the fall back to the spring 
answers live like peasants here when the questions reign as king
