[D] Maggie's up each morning [G] at 4 a.m.

As [C] the lights go on [G] at Café [A] Carolina
[D]
[G] [D] Maggie's been a waitress here [G] most of her life
[D] Thirty years of coffee cups [G] and soul feed
[D] The mountains around Asheville
She's [G] never seen the other side
[C] Closer now to [G] fifty than [A] to [D] forty

On the lonely afternoons
[G] When the business starts to slow down
She plays the saddest tune

With [Em] nobody to go home to
[G] And it's almost [A] time to close
