The Quarrymen/Beatles skiffle tribute "Live" chords
Start Jamming...
Well, Craig said at the beginning that the Beatles started off as the Quarrymen, and that's quite true.
[Eb] And if anybody knows, is familiar with the Beatles' music, especially their [A] CD called Let It Be,
there's a small little track, number seven, called Maggie Mae.
It lasts 38 seconds.
John Lennon just sort of runs it off and then doesn't go anywhere.
But it just so happens that Maggie Mae is one of the songs that the Quarrymen did before they were the Beatles.
And so we're going to do it for you now.
And you just have to imagine that I'm John Lennon.
This is what they might have sounded like in 1957.
[B] [A]
[E]
[E] Well [A] now Maggie, Maggie Mae, [E] they've taken her away
And she'll never walk down Lyme Street [B] anymore
Well the judge, he killed the founder
[A] For robbing clothes and pounders
That [E] dirty, no [B] good-loving Maggie [E] Mae
I [A] got paid the night before in [E] the port of Liverpool
Three pound ten a week, that was [B] my pay
[E] With a pocket full of change
[A] I was very soon taken in [E] by a gal [B] with the name of [E] Maggie Mae
[A] Now the first time I saw Maggie, [E] she took my breath away
She was walking up on down that [B] Lyme Street place
[E] With a figure so divine, [A] and her voice was so refined
[B] Well, being a sailor I gave [E] chase
The [A] next morning I awoke, [E] I was black as stone, he broke
No jacket, trousers, waistcoat [B] could I find
[E] When I asked her where, [A] she said
My very dear sir, [B] they are down in Kelly's Pawn Shop Number [E] 9
[A] There the pawn shop I did go, [E] no clothes there did I find
The policeman come and took that [B] gal from me
[E] And the judge, he guilty found her
[A] For robbing clothes and pounders
[B] And she'll never walk down Lyme Street anymore
[E] [A] Well now Maggie, Maggie Mae, [E] they've taken her away
And she'll never walk down Lyme Street [B] anymore
[E] Well the judge, he guilty found her
[A] For robbing clothes and pounders
[B] That dirty, no good-loving Maggie [E] Mae
Well [A]

[B] [Bm]
[A] [E] [B]
[E]
[N]
[Am] of course the corpsmen changed their name to the Beatles
And the rest is history, including Skiffle
[D] So before I hand this stage over to [C] the invasions
I'd like to do one American folk song that everybody knows
And I want to hear everybody singing this because you all know it
I want those rockers to know that we're not dead yet
Oh when the saints, oh when they're marching in
Oh when the saints, oh when [G]
the saints go marching in
Oh [C] Lord I want to live in that [F] number
When [C] the saints, oh when [G] the saints go marching [C] in
Whoa, whoa, [E] whoa, wait a second, Professor
You want something that moves?
[C]
How about, um
She was just 17, you know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond [G] compare
[C] Oh how could I dance with another
[Ab] Who'd [C] [G] stand [C] in there
Well she looked at me
[F] And I, I [C] could see
That before too long fell in love [G] with her
And [C] she wouldn't dance with [G] another
[Ab] Oh, [C] when I saw [G] her [C] standing there
[F] Well my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand and [G] it just might
[F] We [C] danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long fell in love [G] with her
[C] Cause I wouldn't dance with [G] another
[Eb] Oh, [C] when I saw [G] her [C] standing there
Oh yes I saw [G] her [C] standing there
Oh yes I saw [G] her standing there
[C] [Cm]
[N] Thank you very much.
A big hand for Danielle Lemieux
Craig Morrison Lunday Slim Sandy
Thank you very much.
