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

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

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
