[N] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Fm] _ [Eb] When I first [Fm] set eyes on you, _ _
[Bbm] _ first you beat [Ab] me up, then you kissed me too.
[Fm] _ We'd throw stones into the sea, _ _
[Bbm] _ [Fm] there were no others there, just [Eb] you and me.
[Fm] _ Across the bridge and down the lane, _
_ [Bbm] I [Fm] knew I loved you [Ab] then, you said you did the same.
[Db] _ [Ab] Oh Maggie, what have you done?
I should have seen it coming, to your [Eb] side I'd run.
_ [Ab] Oh Maggie, come to me tonight, _ I will wait up for you, make sure [Eb]
you're [Fm] alright, I miss you. _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Fm] You taught me how to sink or swim, [Db] _ _ [Bbm] when [Fm] I was scared that [Ab] day, you just [Eb] pushed me in.
[Fm] And when nobody was around, _ _ [Bbm] you [Fm] let me kiss you [Ab] then, there the love [Eb] I found.
[Fm] I [Eb] said I'd never let [Fm] you go, [Db] _ _ you [Fm] just smiled at me, how was [Eb] I to know?
[Db] _ [Ab] Oh Maggie, what am I to do?
How can I live with only memories [Eb] of you?
_ [Ab] Oh Maggie, tell me the truth, [Db] when your [Ab] ship was sinking, did you think it through?
[Fm] I miss you. _ _
[Db] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Fm] You [Eb] were the fountain [Fm] of my youth, [Db] _ _ [Bbm] _ and when I fumbled, [Ab] you showed me what to do.
[Fm] And [Eb] when we were [Fm] both seventeen, [Db] _ _ [Bbm] you left me standing [Ab] there, but you [Eb] were never mean.
[Fm] And when I saw you out with him, [Db] _ _ [Bbm] he [Fm] looked much older, and you looked [Eb] very thin.
[Fm] I hadn't heard from you in years, _ _ [Bbm] and [Fm] then your mama called, but you couldn't [Eb] speak for tears.
[Fm] She said you left me, you know, [Db] _ _ [Bbm] _ [Fm] inside my [Ab] pocketbook with these words you wrote.
[Db] _ [Ab] Hey darling boy, don't you cry for me, I am forever yours, now that I am free.
[Db] We'll be together, throw stones into [Ab] the sea, [Db] there'll [Ab] be no others there, just you and me.
[Fm] I miss you.
_ [Db] _
_ [Bbm] Maggie's gone, _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
[Eb] I think you came the [Fm] other night.
[Db] _ _
You [Fm] stroke my brow, [Ab] your eyes were [Eb] full of light.
[Fm] It may have only been a dream, _ _
[Bbm] but I [Fm] will walk with you [Ab] to places I [Fm] never have been.
_ _ _ [Db] _
[Bbm] Maggie's [Fm] gone.
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
