[D] [E]
[G] [D] [Em]
[A] Wake up Maggie, [G] I think I got something [D] to say to you
It's
[A] late September [G] and I really should be [D] back at school
I [G]
know I [D] keep you amused, [G] but I feel I'm [A] being used
[Em] Oh Maggie, I [F#m] couldn't 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] and that's what [D] really hurts
[A] The morning sun [G] when it's in your face [D] really shows your age
[A] But that don't worry [G] me none, in my eyes [D] you're everything
I [G]
laughed at all of [D] your jokes, my [G]
love you didn't need [A] to coax
[Em] Oh Maggie, I couldn't [F#m] have tried [Em] anymore
[D] You [Em]
led me away [A] from home, [Em] cause you didn't want to be [A] alone
[Em] You stole my heart, I [A] couldn't leave [D] you if I tried
[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 [D] you wore me out
[G]
All you did was wreck [D] my bed, and [G] in the morning kicked me in [A] the head
[Em] Oh Maggie, I couldn't [F#m] have tried [Em]
anymore
[A] [Em] You led me away [A] from home, [Em] cause you didn't want to be [A] alone
[Em] You stole my heart, [A] I couldn't [D] leave you if I tried
[Em]
[A] [D]
[G] [Em]
[E] [G] I [A] [G] [D]
[A]
suppose I [G] could collect my books [D] and get on back to school
[A] Or steal my [G] daddy's cue and make a living [D] out of playing fool
Or [G]
find myself a rock and [D] roll band [G] that needs a [A] helping hand
[Em] Oh Maggie, I wished [F#m] I'd never seen [Em] your face
You [D] [Em] made a first class fool [A] out of me, [Em] but I'm as blind as a fool [A] can be
[Em] You stole my heart, [A] but I love you [D]
anyway
[Em]
[A] [D]
[Dm] [G] [Em]
[G] [D]
[G] Maggie, [D]
[A] [G]
[D]
[Em] I wished I'd [G]
never seen [D] your face
[Em] [G]
[D] I'll get on back [Em] home [G] one of [D] these days
[Em] I'll get on back home one of these days
[G] [D]
