             Sugar Magnolia, blossoms blooming
             A               G                E          A
             Head's all empty, and I don't care
                                   C#m             F#m
             Saw my baby down by the river
           E                                     D                  A     A E A
             Knew she had to come up soon for air

             Sweet blossom come on under the willow
             We can have high times if you'll abide
             We can discover the wonders of nature
             Rollin' in the rushes down by the riverside

                              D                       add4     D
                              She's got everything delightful
                                                        A         D
                              She's got everything I need
                                                                    add4          D
                              Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double
                                             E        A                      A E A
                              Pays my ticket when I speed
                                                                                    (intro)

             Well, she comes screamin' through rays of violet
             She can wade in a drop of dew
             She don't come, and I don't follow
             Waits backstage while I sing to you

             Well, she can dance a cajun rhythm
             Jump like a Willis in four wheel drive
             She's a summer love in the spring, fall, or winter
             She can make happy any man alive

                                             A               G     D A                    G            D A
                                             Sugar Magnolia...    ringin' that bluebell
                                                                  G           D A
                                             Caught up in sunlight
                                                                   E               G                      D
                                             Come on out singin' out walkin' in the sunshine
                                                                                                                    A E A
                                             Ooh, come on honey, come along with me

                              She' got everything delightful
                              She's got everything I need
                              A breeze in the pines in the summertime moonlight
                              Crazy in the sunlight, yes indeed

                                                          A                                                   add4
                                                             Sometimes when the cuckoo's cryin'

                                                             When the moon is halfway down

                                                             Sometimes when the night is dyin'
                                                                                             F#          E          Bsus4  B add4
