Kind of a country song - Mojo - if you have time maybe ?  smile    I could use some help I think.

anyways - here it is

When The Magnolias Bloom Again by Jim Kenyon


Capo on 4






Verse 1


[G]She might not have been everybody’s cup of [C]tea


[C] likely closer to drinkin’ Trace [G]whiskey


[G]never much on wasting her time [C]talking


[C]rather be [Am]riding on the [C]range, than [G]walking.


[Am] rather be riding on the [C]range, than [Em]walking.




Verse 2


.


[G]She had a smile that lit up stars in the western [C]sky


[C]a heart full of love,there was magic in her [G]eyes


[G]I learned how to love her , but found out she had to run [C]free


[C]a cowgirl spirit you can't [Am] tame, took a [C]while for me to [G]see


[Am]a spirit no one could [C] tame, took awhile to [Em]see


.


Chorus


[C]We all like to travel back in time to our younger [G]days


[Am]But now it’s so hard, it’s [C]such a long, long [G]way,



[C]always hoped I’d see her when the magnolias bloom [G]again


[Am]guess my memories and [C] songs will have to do ‘til [G] then


[Am]guessmemories and [C] songs will do ‘til [G] then




Verse 3


.


[G]She lived by her own rules, never made any [C]excuses


[C]always meant what she said, thought cheap talk was[G] useless


[G]the sound of her voice made me smile,never wondered [C] why


[C]just see her as I do, and you’d [Am]know why I can’t say[G] goodbye.


[Am]If you see her as I do, you’d know why I can’t say[Em] goodbye.




Chorus




[C]We all like to travel back in time to our young [G]days


[Am]But now it’s so hard, it’s [C]such a long, long [G]way,


[C]always hoped I’d see her when the magnolias bloom [G]again


[Am]guess my memories and [C] songs will have to do ‘til [G] then


[Am]guessmemories and [C] songs will do ‘til [G] then




[Am] yeah, memories and [C] songs will have to do ‘til [Em] then

As we get older we seem to hanker for our younger days. But would you really want to be 16 again? I wouldn't not in these days.
Back to your song, you've captured the essence of youth and young love Jim. I hope Mojo has time to record a cover.     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Thank you  EB   .... just doing my part to aid a worthy cause .
Phill - I wouldn't mind being 16 if I could a bunch of friends to be there with me.

Jan Thanks for the kind words -  My cover doesn't do it justic.  Inmy head it sounds good , but when I play and sing it lowers the
quality quite a bit.  I think mojo would be a good fit, but really Phill, Neo, or any of the other great performers on here would awesome as well.

I think it's a pretty cool song - just needs a good musician.  smile

Thanks to all

Cheers

Jim
