Mobile Bay Chords

Lyrics & chords

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