G(II)                G/F#              Em

Well the morning is fading.... to the day

G(II)               G/F#                  Em

And I lie here and watch as you.... fade away

Am                          Em

And the stillness holds me down like a thief

Am                    Em

And it robs me of my peace

G                     Am          G

But it's all for the love.... of Magdalena

G(II)         G/F#         Em

And she is a river.... for my eyes

G(II)            G/F#          Em

I grasp at her beauty.... she floats right on by

Am                      Em

Any man should know.... such sorrow

Am                      Em

Yeah my tears they know no pain, ooooh

G                 Am          G

It's all for the love.... of Magdalena

B7                                            Cadd9                    G(II)

And her scent that she leaves behind, well it tempts me where I lay yeah

B7                                Cadd9              G(II)

Empty promises leave me wondering where she went astray

          Cadd9           G(II)         Am(II)       G(II)

And she flickers, and she fades oooh oh she fades, hey.... 3 4

G(II)           G/F#         Em

The morning is fading.... to the day

G(II)                 G/F#            Em

And I lie here and watch....  as you fade, as you fade away, hey

Am                        Em

Leave the things as they need to be yeah

Am                         Em

He throws in a high barre G chord (root on the 10th fret of A string) at the end of the first verse There's also this little fill he does as he's transitioning from Em's to the next chord:

e -----------------------

B -----------------------

G -----------------------

D -----------------------

A -----------2-----------

E --0--2--3--------------

That's about it.  Listen to it to get all the timing down.  A friend and I are working on the solo..... Any comments, send 'em my way.
