Good news for my blog. Coming soon is an interview with one of my favorite Americana folk singers, songwriter Will Kimbrough. Be looking for it! Today I wanted to post the lyrics and chords for another song by Guy Clark that I learned tonight. I hope it helps anyone who has been wanting to learn the song.

“Magdalene” by Guy Clark

I ain’t lookin’ for trouble E, Abm, A
I can’t stay here tonight E, Abm, A
I got to leave here on the double E, Abm, A
If I want to see the morning light E, Abm, A
Don’t need no pistol for the tickets E, Abm, A
I’ve got just enough to get us down the line E, Abm, A
I don’t know what happens next E, Abm, A
Your guess is just as good as mine E, Abm, A

Chorus

Move with me, Magdalene C#m, B, A
I’m tired of the same old scene E, Abm, A
There’s a greyhound leaving at midnight A, B7
If you came with me it’d be like a dream E, A
Come on, Magdalene C#m, B, A
Move with me, Magdalene E, Abm, A

Verse

I’ve heard Mexico is easy
I wouldn’t stay here if I could
Don’t come along just to please you
Let’s go while the going’s good

Chorus

Move with me, Magdalene
I’m tired of the same old scene
Let’s go down to San Miguel
Let’s go be somebody else tonight
Come on, Magdalene
There’s a greyhound leaving at midnight
If you came with me it’d be like a dream
Come on, Magdalene
Move with me, Magdalene
