Verse 1:

Bm            D
I wanna go to Magnolia Mountain 

    A                 E
And lay my weary head down 

            G            D                  A   Asus  A
Down on the rocks of the mountain my savior made 

Verse 2:
Steady my soul and ease my worry
Hold me when I rattle like a hummingbird hummin' 
Tie me to the rocks of the mountain my savior made 

Chorus:

C#m    G#m    
Lie to me

D         A     
sing me a song

C#m       G#m            F# 
Sing me a song until the morning comes 

       C#m     G#m            D      A
If the morning come, will you lie to me

         C#m                           G#m
Will you take me to your bed, will you lay me down

         F# 
Til' I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed 
That my savior made 

(Instrumental interlude)

Verse 3:
I wanna be the bluebird singing 
Singing to the roses in her yard 
Roses in her yard her father grew for her 
It's been raining like Tennessee honey 
So long I got too heavy to fly 
Ain't no bluebird ever gets too heavy to sing 


Chorus:
Lie to me 
Sing me a song 
Sing me a song until the morning comes 
And if the morning don't come, will you lie to me 
Will you take me to your bed 
Will you lay me down 
Ti'l I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed 
That my savior made 
. . . please 

(Instrumental interlude)

Verse 4:
We burn the cotton fields down in the valley 
And ended up with nothing but scars 
Scars became the lessons that we gave to our children after the war 
There ain't nothing but the [truth/tunes] of Magnolia Mountain 
Where nobody ever dies 
Steady your soul and ease your worry 
They got room


Chorus:
Lie to me like I lie to you 
Hold me down until the morning comes 
And if the morning don't come 
Will you lie to me 
Will you take me to your bed 
Will you lay me down 
Ti'l I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed 
That my savior made 
. . . please
