 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

 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.
