[verse: 1]
Fmaj7{let ring}    Cmaj7   
   Whip-poor-will singing
Fmaj7            Cmaj7  
   Soft summer breeze
Fmaj7                    Cmaj7 
   Makes me think of my baby
Fmaj7                    Cmaj7  
   I left down in New Orleans
Fmaj7                    Cmaj7 
   I left down in New Orleans
 
[verse: 2]
Fmaj7{let ring}  Cmaj7      
   Magnolia, you sweet thing
Fmaj7                 Cmaj7  
   You’re driving me mad
Fmaj7                 Cmaj7    
   Got to get back to you, babe
Fmaj7                       Cmaj7  
   You’re the best I ever had
Fmaj7                       Cmaj7  
   You’re the best I ever had

[bridge:] 
Am                    G      
  You whisper "good morning"
Am                 G 
  So gently in my ear
Am                   G       
  I’m coming home to you, babe
Fmaj7           Cmaj7  
  I’ll soon be there
Fmaj7          Cmaj7  
  I’ll soon be there
