Verse 1
D 
G 
We were gathered round
the garbage can
C 
G 
Passing round the bottle
C 
G 
Cold and burning anything
A 
D 
Dry enough to burn
G 
C 
A shaken man said he'd left his family
G 
back in Bo ston
And I knew I'd hear a whole lot more
D 
G 
before it came my turn
D 
G 
Then a bearded man in his army coat said,
C 
G 
And the answer, boys, is Jesus
C 
G 
The one called Joe said, all I know
A 
D 
Ain't January hell
G 
And one old boy said,
let's just have a drink
C 
G 
To Flagstaff, Arizona
I thought I'd surely freeze to death
D 
G 
Before I  got to tell
D 
C 
About Mobile Bay
G 
Magnolia blossoms,
Am 
cool summer night
C 
G 
C 
Warm rolling sea, and all my dreams
G 
And how I've lost them,
Am 
I hope you'll break
C 
D 
G 
Magnolia leaves, and sweet Rosalie
The sun was barely coming up
C 
G 
on the wrong side of Chicago
C 
G 
I was cold and hungry
A 
D 
and all my wine was gone
G 
People passed and pointed,
C 
said there's another wine
G 
But they didn't know
that one last time
D 
My dreams  would take me home
G 
D 
C 
Back to Mobile Bay
G 
Magnolia blossoms
Am 
Cool summer nights
C 
G 
Warm Roman sea
C 
And all my dreams
G 
And how I've lost them
Am 
Moby will bring, Magnolia,
C 
D 
G 
Sweet Rosalie
C
