[INTRO]
[F] [Bb] [C] [F] [Bb] [C] [F]

[VERSE 1]
Dear Mag[Bb]nolia,[C] I lend you my [F]ear
Whisper your [Bb]stories and [C]secrets hidden [F]here [Am]
Of a south that [Bb]rose,[Dm] of a [C]south that [G7]fell [Gm]
Your days of [F]glory,[Bbm] your days of [Gm]Hell [F]

[VERSE 2]
We'll weep to[Bb]gether,[C] praise to the [F]lord
Raise up our [Bb]voices and [C]lay down our [F]swords [Am]
To the souls we've [Bb]lost, [Dm]to the [C]souls we've [G7]found [Gm]
Though they never stop [F]asking us,[Bbm] did you really have to [Gm]take us [A7]down [Dm]

[CHORUS]
Heavy-headed [C]blossoms,[Bb] fragrant as they [F]fall
For [Bb]I have wandered [Am]through the door
Of [Bb]everything you [A7]stand for [Dm]
Heavy-headed [C]blossoms,[Bb] gracefully re[F]veal
[Dm]That which I had [C]always felt was [Bbm]missing
Like the rolling dreams[Gm7] of a wagonless wheel

[VERSE 3]
Your sweet sur[Bb]vival[C] has given [F]rise
Unto your [Bb]wisdom and [C]yet you rea[F]lize [Am]
Although your arms are [Bb]long,[Dm] and your [C]reach is [G7]wide [Gm]
Within your [F]deepest scars,[Bbm] there are some [Gm]snakes still hiding [F]

[VERSE 4]
So Dear Mag[Bb]nolia,[C] I pledge my re[F]turn
To the hills be[Bb]tween us on which [C]fires still [F]burn [Am]
There we'll stand our [Bb]ground[Dm] 'til the [C]moon a[G7]bove [Gm]
Comes shining [F]through the smoke,[Bbm] in the [Gm]name of [A7]love [Dm]

[CHORUS]
Heavy-headed [C]blossoms,[Bb] fragrant as they [F]fall
For [Bb]I have wandered [Am]through the door
Of [Bb]everything you [A7]stand for [Dm]
Heavy-headed [C]blossoms,[Bb] gracefully re[F]veal
[Dm]That which I had [C]always felt was [Bbm]missing
Like the rolling dreams[Gm7] of a wagonless wheel
