[Db] [Em] Gordon Lightfoot, one of my favorite singers and performers.
He's also a close personal friend of mine.
Phone him and ask him, he'll tell you.
You know, if Gordon were here tonight, and if he dressed himself,
and if he played the piano, and if his favorite singer were Rod Stewart,
you might hear something like this.

[C]
I wake up Maggie, [Bb] I think I got something [F] to say to you.
[C]
It's late September [Bb] and I really should [F] be back at school.
[Bb] I find myself a rock and [F] roll band [Bb] that needs a helping [F] hand.
Oh [Gm]
Maggie, I wish [Am] I'd never seen [C] your face.
[Gm] You mean a first class [Am] cookie, [Gm] now I must blame [C] you.
Oh [Gm] Maggie, I wish [Am] I'd never seen [C] your face.
[G] Well, Gordon's an awfully big star these days.
A lot more difficult to get in touch with him than it used to be.
Ask some of his old friends.
I guess there's not much hope of Gordon ever doing one of my tunes,
now that he's so well established.
But boy, that would sure be great.
[C]
No time [G] for [D] a gentle [G] rain.
[C]
No [G] time for [Dm] my watch [G] and chain.
[C]
No [G] time for [Dm] revolving [G] doors.
[F] No time for the killing [Em] floor.
[F] No time for the killing [Em] floor.
[F] There's no time left for [E] you.
[F]
No time left [Em] for you.
[E] How do Gordon Lightfoot 2?
Listen.
A holy, the lonely, dum, dum, dum, dee, doo, ah.
I feel the night.
