Am  x02210    G  320003

       D            Am     C
By the shade of the old Magnolia
  D       G     Am
I go down for release.
        D     Am       C
And the seven ships of Providence
        D        G       Am
Will be falling, growing near.

And the convent girls in their frilly white tights
        C      D                G           Em
Will be chorus girls with their names up in lights.
        C      D             G          Am
And the bridal veils will be shimmering white
        C          Gm
Will be shimmering white...

Where once we talked in confidence,
   D         G       Am
We now shall walk in fear.
        D      Am       C
And the bridal ships of Providence
    D      G       Am
Are slowly drawing near

And the years are stretching on
