[D] [Em] [G#] [A]
Wake up Maggie, [G] I think I've got something [D] to say to you.
[A] It's late September and [G] I really should be [D]
back at school.
[G] I know I keep [D] you amused, but I [G]
feel I'm being [A] 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.
[G] I laugh 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] [Em] You 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 leave [D] you if I tried.

[Bm] [G] [Dm] [D]
[A] I suppose I [G] could collect my books and [D] get on back to school.
[Bm] [D] [A] Or steal my [G] daddy's cue and make a living [D] out of playing pool.
Or [G] 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.
[F#m] 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 love you [D] anyway.
