[F#m] [E] 40 years old.
Roy [D] Orbison, pretty woman.
Now I don't know who those legs [Em] were, but these are definitely Rod's legs.
[G] 31 years ago now, Rod [D] Stewart.
[G] Check out [D] John Peel on the mandolin.
[Em] [G]
[D] [G] [A]
Wake up Maggie, [G] I think I've got [D] something to say to you.
[A] It's late September [G] and I really should be [D] back at school.
[G] I know I keep you [D] amused, but [G] I feel I'm being [A] used.
[Em] Oh Maggie, I couldn't [F#m] have tried [Em] anymore.
You led me away [A] from home, [Em] just to save you from being [A] alone.
[Em] You stole my heart, [A] but I love you [D] anyway.
[A] In the morning sun [G] when it's in your face, you [D] really show your age.
[A] But don't worry [G] me none, in my eyes [D] you're everything.
[G] I laughed at all of your [D] jokes.
My [G] love you didn't need [A] to force.
[Em] Oh Maggie, I couldn't [F#m] have tried [Em] anymore.
[D] [Em] You led me away [A] from home, [Em] just to save you from being [A] alone.
[Em] You stole my heart, [A] but I love [G] you [D] anyway.
[A] All I needed [G] was a friend to lend [D] a guiding hand.
[A] But you turned into a lover, [G] and mother what a lover you [D] are, me and.
[G] All you did was wreck [D] my bed, and [G] in the morning kicked me [A] in the head.
[Em] Oh Maggie, I couldn't [F#m] have tried [Em] anymore.
[A] [Em] You led me away [A] from home, [Em] just to save you from being [A] alone.
[Em] You stole my heart, [A] but I love [D] you anyway.

[G] [D]

I suppose I [G] could collect my books and [D] get on back to school.
[A] Just feel my [G] daddy's cue, think of living [D] out a playing pool.
[G] Find myself a rock and [D] roll band, [G] that needs a helping [A] hand.
[Em] Oh Maggie, I couldn't [F#m] have tried [Em] anymore.
[D] You [Em] made a first class fool [A] out of me, [Em] but I'm as blind as a book [A] can be.
[Em] You stole my heart, [A] but I love you [D] anyway.
