Chords for Chris Stapleton - Maggie's Song (Lyrics)

_ [C] _ _ [G] _ Let me tell you [Em] a story _ [C] _ about an old [G] friend of mine
[C] _ _ [G] Somebody [D] left her [Em] in a shopping [D] car in [C] a parking lot for [D] us to find
[G] _ _ Just a [Em] fuzzy black pup
[D] She [C] was hungry [G] and feeling alone
_ _ _ We put her [Em] in the backseat
_ [C] Told [A] her we were taking [G] her home
_ [C] _ _ Run Maggie run
_ [C] With the heart of [G] a rebel child
_ _ Oh run [Bm] Maggie run
Be [C] just as free [G] as you are wild
_ _ _ _ [Em] Kids laid up
_ _ [C] We moved [G] out on the farm
_ _ [G] _ She followed [Em] those kids around.
[C] Yes, she kept them [D] safe from harm
_ [G] And she loved to [Em] chase squirrels
_ [C] And playing out [G] in snow
_ _ She'd take off [Em] like a bully
_ [C] Man, you should have [G] seen her go
[C] _ _ [G] _ run run
[Bm] _
_ with [C] a heart of a [G] rebel child
_ _ Oh run
_ [Bm] Run be [C] just as free as [G] you are wild _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ It was raining on a Monday
[C] the day that Maggie died
_ [C] _ _ [G] She woke up and [E] couldn't use [D] her legs [C] so I lay down [D] by the side
_ _ [G] She put her head on [Em] my hand
Like [C] she'd done so many times.
_ _ I told her she was a good [Em] dog
[C] Then I told [G] her goodbye
_ [C] _ _ Run Maggie [Bm] run
_ with the [C] heart of a [G] rebel child
_ Oh run Maggie [Bm] run
Be just [C] as free as [G] you are wild
_ _ I had a revelation
As [G] the tractor dug the hole
[Am] _ _ [D] I can tell you [A] right now
That [C] a dog
[D] has a soul
_ _ [G] _ And I thought to [Em]
myself
_ [C] As we buried her [G] on the hill
_ _ I never knew [Em] me a better dog [C] and I guess I [G] never will
_ _ _ Run Maggie [Bm] run
_ with [C] the heart of a [G] rebel child
_ Oh run Maggie [Bm]
run
Be [C] just as free as [G] you are wild
_ Oh run Maggie [Em] _
run
With [C] the heart of a [G] rebel child
_ _ Oh run Maggie [Em]
run
Be [C] just as free as [G] you are wild _ _ _ _ _ _ _
