[Verse]
Bb
From a land with no borders
        Gm
She was carried by the ocean
       Ab                Eb
To the land of the great divide
Eb
Stranded by the waters as her homeland
            Fm                        Bb
Was to disappear with the rolling tide
Eb               Gm
Color by number, purple mountain
Ab                     Eb
Majesty couldn't shake her
                                  Bb
She's an island girl and she walks this world
         Gm         Ab             Bb
When and where the wind will take her

Eb Bb

[Chorus]
Eb
Magnolia, they told you
                  Bb
You can't go back home
Eb
Magnolia, to behold you
Fm             Gm           Ab
Is to know the road you're on
Eb
Magnolia, they consoled you
                    Bb
But it took so long
Fm Eb Ab  Fm Eb Ab
Magnolia, Magnolia
Fm       Eb  Ab
Where do you belong

Eb                                           Ab                       Eb
Now her spirit is raptured by the man in the moon in the light of day
                                                          Fm               Bb
A gypsy with the power of the gift of song that could melt cold hearts away
Eb
Rarely it happens, fairytale-like
Ab                           Eb
Ships half the size of an acre
                                Gm
Could carry the dreams on a moonlit beam
             Ab        Bb      Eb
To the queen of the music makers


[Chorus]
Eb
Magnolia, they told you
                  Bb
You can't go back home
Eb
Magnolia, to behold you
Fm             Gm           Ab
Is to know the road you're on

Magnolia, they consoled you
                    Bb
But it took so long
Fm Eb Ab  Fm Eb Ab
Magnolia, Magnolia
Fm       Eb  Ab
Where do you belong

Eb                                                           Ab                       Eb
Now the people then gather as the sound of the music tells a story that's one for the age
                                                     Fm                  Bb
Representing a tear every word they heard left fresh ink dripping from a page
                  Eb
She sang from the book of life, the chapter of love
Ab                              Eb
The king of hearts didn't spare her
                                                Bb           Ab           Bb       Eb
He gave her one last look and then off she took with the sun that's become the torchbearer


[Chorus]
Eb
Magnolia, they told you
                  Bb
You can't go back home

Is to know the road you're on

Magnolia, they consoled you

But it took so long
Fm Eb Ab  Fm Eb Ab
Magnolia, Magnolia
Fm       Eb  Ab
Where do you belong
