'Magdalena' by Ian Moore
from the "Damn, It's Early" albulm
(for those that don't know, it's an albulm of live performances from a morning radio show in Austin, TX)



                              
Well the morning is fading.... to the day
                                 
And I lie here and watch as you.... fade away
                          
And the stillness holds me down like a thief
                    
And it robs me of my peace
                               
But it's all for the love.... of Magdalena

                  
And she is a river.... for my eyes
                      
I grasp at her beauty.... she floats right on by
                      
Any man should know.... such sorrow
                      
Yeah my tears they know no pain, ooooh
                           
It's all for the love.... of Magdalena

                                                                
And her scent that she leaves behind, well it tempts me where I lay yeah
                                              
Empty promises leave me wondering where she went astray
                              (II)       (II)
And she flickers, and she fades oooh oh she fades, hey.... 3 4

           
           
       
Ooooh  Ooooh
       
Ooooh  Ooooh
           

                    
The morning is fading.... to the day
                             
And I lie here and watch....  as you fade, as you fade away, hey
                        
Leave the things as they need to be yeah
                         
Ooooh but some things are not for me yeah, but its uh
                     
But it's all for the love....
                                              
It's all for the love, yeaah It's all for the love
                                        
It's all for the love, it's all for the love, yeah

He throws in a high barre G chord (root on the 10th fret of A string) at the end of the first verse 
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..... 
comments, send 'em my way.
