[D] [G] [A] Wake up Maggie, I [G] think I got something [D] to say to you
[A] It's late September [G] and I really should [D] be back at school
I [G] know I keep [D] you amused, [G] but 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] and that's what really [D] 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
[G] I laughed at all [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] just to save you from being [A]
alone
[Em] You stole my soul and [A] that's a pain [G] I can do [D] without
[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, I [A] couldn't [D] leave you if I tried

[A] I suppose I [G] could collect my books and [D] go back to school
[A] Or steal my [G] daddy's cue and make a living [D] out of playing fool
[G] Or find myself a rock and [D] roll band [G] that needs a [A] helping hand
[Em] Oh Maggie, I wish [F#m] I'd never seen [Em] your face
[D] You [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'll love you [D] anyway
[Em] I suppose I could collect [A]
my books and [D] go [G]
back [Em] to school
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand
