Tabbed by: Patrick Walters

I noticed that nobody had put up a tab for this song and I thought I might have a go. 
It's not perfect but I think it sounds alright. 

Capo 5

VERSE 
C                                             G
Nice to meet you boy, I know your momma knows,
                                                    Am
I fell in love with her, seven thousand summers ago,

I was a runner kid, a too much too heartily kid,
 F                                 G
Your momma helped me out, and now, here to pay the due back, though.

C                                              G
Nice to meet you boy, I knew your momma's song
                                                Am
I knew how she would move along to every rhythm

I know she'll  do her best for you, she wants to get the rest of you,
 F                             G
Now here to take care of you, whatever you need to come on through,


INSTRUMENTAL
C G Am F G


VERSE
C                                    G
Sad, juiced up, loose cannon fodder,
                               Am
We used to be happily, savagery, 
                                     
fell rapidly into love telepathy, 
      F                           G
I must admit, before I slipped, your mother knew the best of me.

C                                 G
Mad, clued up, we were not lovers,
                                       Am
Band of brothers, sister, easy company,

Didn't tell me she was sick until she wrote to me,
       F                                  G
Then out the blue, the years we knew they all come flooding back to me,


CHORUS
C                          
Magnolia melan-call-it-love,
G                     Am                          
magnolia melancholia, 
                           F    
Magnolia melan-call-it-love, 
          G
magnolia melancholia,


VERSE
C                                                          G
Like how she smiled and how I cried and how I finally felt,

Like how I lied and how we died, inside the Chelsea Hotel,
Am                                                          F
Could tell that when she told me I had never had a broken heart,
                            G
Well I was mad, I said a couple of things I shouldn't of,

C                                                         G
We didn't talk for years, it's clear to me I was ostracised,
                                                         Am
Threw me out a heart, a head, a soul, a whole damn life,

I'm sittin' on the other side of London penance for shit,
F                          G
Guess it's all just hurt too much for her to deal with it,

C                                             G
Nice to meet you boy, I know your momma knows,
                                                  Am
I fell in love with her, seven thousand summers ago,

I was a runner kid, a too much too heartily kid,
     F                                 G
Your momma helped me out, and now, here to pay the due back, though,

C                                          G
Nice to meet you boy, I knew your momma's song
                                                Am
I knew how she would move along to every rhythm

I know she'll do her best for you, she wants to get the rest of you,
   F                           G
Now here to take care of you, whatever you need to come on through,

BRIDGE
C                             G                      Am
       This is just a story I tell, she's alive and well,
                 F         
Somewhere in the city swell, 

C                               G  
       I guess I just miss my friend,
                Am
As for the broken heart,
                      F  
it grates every time I start,

C                            G
       I guess I just miss my friend,
                    Am
that's with a broken heart,
                     F   
it grates every time I start,

C                            G
       I guess I just miss my friend,
                    Am
that's with a broken heart,
                     F   
it grates every time I start,

C                            G
       I guess I just miss my friend,
                    Am
that's with a broken heart,
                     F   
it grates every time I start,
