[Verse 1]

A               D        A
Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming
A         G         E       A
heads all empty and I don't care,
A           C#m         F#m
Saw my baby down by the river
E                       D           A  *riff 2     
knew she'd have to come up soon for air.


[Verse 2]

A                      D         A
Sweet blossom come on, under the willow
A           G          E         A
we can have high times if you'll abide
A                   C#m        F#m
We can discover the wonders of nature
E                     D           A       *riff 2
rolling in the bushes down by the riverside.


[Chorus]

D              G       D         D              A       D
She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need,
D                    G          D       D              E      A    *riff 2
Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double, pays my ticket when I speed


[Verse 3]

A                          D       A
She comes skimmin' through rays of violet
A       G         E       A
she can wade in a drop of dew,
A                  C#m     F#m
She don't come and I don't follow
E                     D         A  *riff 2
waits backstage while I sing to you.


[Verse 4]

A                     D     A
Well, she can dance a Cajun rhythm
A           G         E          A
jump like a willys in four wheel drive.
A                       C#m              F#m
She's a summer love for spring, fall and winter
E                  D       A    *riff 2
She can make happy any man alive.


[Bridge]

A        G   D  A            G   D     A            G  D
Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell, caught up in sunlight
A           E            G               D        
come on out singing I'll walk you in the sunshine
D                              A *riff 2
come on honey, come along with me.


[Chorus]

D              G       D         D              A       D
She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need,
D                             G              D
A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight
D                      E   A     *riff 2
lazing in the sunshine yes indeed.


[Bridge 2]

A                  
Sometimes when the cuckoo's cryin'
A        
when the moon is half way down,
B                  E        B
Sometimes when the night is dying
B                   A      E D A B   A      E 
I take me out and I wander around, I wander 'round.


[Outro]

B         E  B      F#             E    B
Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees
B               E    B    F#              E   B
going where the wind goes blooming like a red rose
B              E   B   F#       E   B    B                    E       B
breathing more freely, Ride our singin', I'll walk you in the morning sunshine
B         E  B      F#        E  B      B              E  B
Sunshine, daydream. Sunshine, daydream. Walking in the sunshine.
