[Intro]
  A  A  A  D
|  |  |  |  |
[Verse 1]
A                                      D                 A
We were sitting 'round the garbage can passin' round the bottle 
D                        A                  Bm7           E     E7
We were cold and burning anything, that was dry enough to burn 
A                                        D       A
A shakin' man said he'd left his family, back in Boston
                                        E               A
And I knew I'd hear a whole lot more, before it came my turn
[Verse 2]
                                             D              A
The bearded man in his army coat, said: "The answer boys is Jesus"
    D                       A              Bm            E      E7
The one called Joe, said:  "All I know is; ain't January Hill"
A                                   D            A
One guy said: "Lets have a drink to Flagstaff Arizona"
                                         E               A
And I thought I might freeze to death, before I'd get to tell
[Chorus]
             D             A
'Bout Mobile Bay, magnolia blossom
            Bm      D            A
Cool summer nights, warm rollin' sea 
           D                      A
And all my dreams, somewhere I've lost 'em
       Bm            D       E         A    D
Mobile bay, magnolia leaves, sweet Rosalee
[Verse 3]
    A                                D                A
The sun was barely comin' up, on the wrong side of Chicago
    D              A         Bm               E     E7
And I was cold and hungry 'n all the wine was gone
A                                 D               A
People passed and pointed, said: "There's another wino"
                                        E                    A
They didn't know that one more time, my dreams would take me home
[Chorus]
               D             A
Back to Mobile Bay, magnolia blossom
            Bm      D            A
Cool summer nights, warm rollin' sea 
           D                     A
And all my dreams, somewhere I'd lost 'em
       Bm            D       E         A    A
Mobile bay, magnolia leaves, sweet Rosalee (4 quick strums)
[Chorus]
       D             A
Mobile Bay, magnolia blossom
            Bm      D            A
Cool summer nights, warm rollin' sea 
           D                     A
And all my dreams, somewhere I'd lost 'em
       Bm            D       E         A
Mobile bay, magnolia leaves, sweet Rosalee
