Charlie Robison
Beginning: G-D-G-D-G-A-D
[D]I drove all day to [G]North Mississi[D]ppi
[D]I drove all night to the [E]place I call [A]home
[D]I hope that Johnnyâ??s stil[G]l waitinâ?? there [D]for me
[D]To take me beside him and [A]call me hi[D]s own
Chorus:
[G]But itâ??s too late[D] now
[G]Itâ??s too late [D]now
[G]The smell of mag[D]nolias
[G]Still sweet in my [D]mouth
[G]And I know itâ??[A]s too lat[D]e now
Johnny got mean when he started drinkinâ??
And it wasnâ??t nobodyâ??s fault when he cried
So I left one morninâ?? from North Mississippi
Cause I couldnâ??t stand to tell mama I lied
Chorus
Johnny took no time to ask me to marry
And I said I would though I knew it was wrong
They played Hank Williams in North Mississippi
And I played the same girl I had all along
Chorus
Early one morninâ?? in North Mississippi
I swore that I could hear somebody cry
But it wasnâ??t my Johnny from North Mississippi
All dressed up in orange on the day that I died
Chorus:
But itâ??s too late now
Itâ??s too late now
The smell of magnolias
Now gone from my mouth
And I know itâ??s too late now
