_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
Before I left the old country, _ Scotland that is, _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] I fell in love with [Gm] this girl.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] She was an older woman, [D] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ [Gm] she was nine, _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ I was [Dm] almost nine. _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ When I first set eyes on you, _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Gm] _ first [Dm] you beat me [F] up, then you kissed [C] me too.
_ _ _ [Dm] _
We'd throw [G] stones to [Dm] the sea, _
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] there weren't [Dm] all others then, [F] _ just you and [C] me.
_ _ _ _ Across the bridge and down the lane, _ _ [Bb] _ _
[G] _ _ [Gm] _ I knew [Dm] I loved you then, [F] you said you did the [G] same. _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] Oh Maggie, _ _
[Bb] what have [F] you done? _ _
[Bb] I should have seen it [F] coming, _ until your [Cm] sad eyes run.
[Bb] _ _ _
[F] Oh Maggie, _ [Bb] come to me [F] tonight, _ _ _ [Bb] I will [F]
wait up for you, make sure you're [C] alright.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm]
You taught me [C] how to sink or swim, _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ when I was [Dm] scared [F] that day, you just pushed [G] me in.
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] When nobody was [Dm] around, _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ [Gm] _ you let me [Dm] kiss you then, [F] there the love I [C] found. _
[Dm] _ I said [G] I'd never let [Dm] you go, _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Gm] _
you just [Dm] smiled at [F] me, I was [C] hard to know. _ _ _ _ _
[F] Oh Maggie, _ _ what am I to do?
_ _ _ How can I live with only [C] memories of you?
_ _ [G] _ _ [F] Oh Maggie, _ tell me the truth.
When your ship was sinking, _ _ did you [C] think it through?
_ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ You were [G] the fountain of my youth, _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ [Gm] and when [Dm] I fumbled, _ [F] you showed me what to [C] do. _ _
[Dm] _ And when we [C] were both _ seventeen, _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _
you left [Dm] me standing [F] there, you were never [C] mean.
_ _ [Dm] And when I _ saw you out with him, [Bb] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Gm] he looked [Dm] much older, [F] and you looked very [C] thin. _
_ [Dm] _ I hadn't [C] heard from you [Dm] in years, _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _
_ then your [Dm] mama called, [F] she couldn't speak for [C] tears.
_ [Dm] _ She said you [C] left me a note, _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ inside [Dm] my pocket _ [F] burns, with these words [G] you _ wrote.
_ _ _ [F] Hey darling boy, don't you cry for me, _ I am forever yours, now that I [C] am with me.
[F] _
We'll be [F] together through _ stones into the sea, _ _ _ there'll be no others there, _ just you [C] and me.
_ _ [Dm] _ I [G] _ _
miss [Dm] you.
_ [Bb] _ _ [Dm] _

[C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] I think you [G] came the other [Dm] night, _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ [Gm] you stroked my brow, your [F] eyes were full of [G] light. _ _
[Dm] _ It may [C] have only been [Dm] a dream, _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Gm]
but I will [Dm] walk with you [F] to places [C] I never _ [Dm] have. _ _
