[Intro]
G  C C G x4
 
[Verse 1]
C             G/B
Me and Magdelena
                            G         C  G
We're driving south through Monterey
C                     G/B
As the sun is slowly sinking
                 G        C  G
Into a distant ocean wave
 
[Chorus]
      D
And I don't know if I've
     C               G
ever loved any other
        D
Half as much as I do
        C                G  C  G
in this light she's under
 
[Verse 2]
C            G/B
Tell me Magdelena
 
What do you see in the
G                     C  G
depths of your night?
C                         G/B
Do you see your long lost father?
 
Does he hold you with the hands
    G                     C  G
You remember as a child?
         D
But know everything lost
     C            G
will be recovered
         D
When we drift into the arms
       C            G
of the undiscovered
 
[Chorus]
      Em
And I don't know if I've
     C              G
ever loved any other
        D
Half as much as I do
        C                 G  C  G
in this light she's under
 
[Verse 3]
C                 G/B
Me and Magdelena
                         G             C  G
Always leaving early and sleeping late
C                    G/B
Secluded in the canyon
                      G    C G
Lost within a turn of fate
        D
But now everything lost
     C            G
will be recovered
         D
When you drift into the arms
       C            G
of the undiscovered
 
[Chorus]
      Em
And I don't know if I've
     C              G
ever loved any other
        D
Half as much as I do
        C                 G
in this light she's under
