Well the morning is fading.... to the day
G(II) G/F# Em
And I lie here and watch as you.... fade away
Am Em
And the stillness holds me down like a thief
Am Em
And it robs me of my peace
G Am G
But it's all for the love.... of Magdalena
G(II) G/F# Em

He throws in a high barre G chord (root on the 10th fret of A string) at the end of the first verse
also this little fill he does as he's transitioning from Em's to the next chord:
e -----------------------|
B -----------------------|
G -----------------------|
D -----------------------|
A -----------2-----------|
E --0--2--3--------------|
That's about it. Listen to it to get all the timing down. A friend and I are working on the solo.....
comments, send 'em my way.
