i recently saw him play here in my town, and a ton of people showed up. I was sure nobody here would know who he was anymore, but the place was packed.
For novice guitar players like myself, here's an easy way to play this...Capo 4: F,C,F,C,Am,Em,G,G. It's a lot easier to play than it is to sing, but as a general rule you should start each new line of "hold on..." half way through the second F chord. Something like this - F, C, F (Hold...)C(...on, Mag...)Am(...no-o-li...)Em (...a...)G(..,to that great highway...) F (...moon...)
Amazingly underrated songwriter...one of many simply heart-wrenching masterpieces by Molina (a guy who still takes the train to come play in my hometown)
this is one of my favorite songs, its the most played song i have. i once listened to it for days straight. its so beautiful that ive almost cried listening to it. thanks a lot for this.
come back jason molina.

Wow, probably the first time I've seen anyone mention Daniel Johnston outside of a Daniel Johnston video.

True, few other bands last as long as Magnolia. Their songs are so simple and honest, but still so complex you never grow tired of them :)

Fabulous rendition to his already perfect song. Jason Molina is definitely an original. I hope to see him or his band play some day.
