Maggie's Song Uke tab by Chris Stapleton

[Verse 1]

G                  Em
 Let me tell you a story
 C
About an old friend of mine
G         D             Em
 Somebody left her in a shopping cart
D     C                 D
 In a parking lot for us to find
G                   Em
 Just a fuzzy black pup
        C                 G
She was hungry and feeling alone
G                  Em
 We put her in the back seat
    C                           G      C
And told her we were taking her home
 
 
[Chorus]

G           Bm
Run, Maggie run
         C                G
With the heart of a rebel child
    G           Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run
           C               G
Be just as free as you are wild
 
 
[Verse 2]

G           Em
 A few kids later
   C           G
We moved out on the farm
G                       Em
 And she followed those kids around
D          C             D
 Yeah, she kept them safe from harm
G                       Em
 And she loved to chase squirrels
    C             G
And playing out in the snow
G                      Em
 She'd take off like a bullet
    C                         G   C
Man, you should have seen her go
 
 
[Chorus]

G           Bm
Run, Maggie run
         C                G
With the heart of a rebel child
    G           Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run
           C               G      C
Be just as free as you are wild

[Verse 3]

G                    Em
 It was raining on a Monday
    C               G
The day that Maggie died
G         D               Em      D
 She woke up and couldn't use her legs
     C           D
So I laid down by her side
G                       Em
 She put her head on my hand
           C            G
Like she'd done so many times
G                     Em
 I told her she was a good dog
     C             G
Then I told her goodbye
 
 
[Chorus]

G           Bm
Run, Maggie run
         C                G
With the heart of a rebel child
    G           Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run
           C               G      C
Be just as free as you are wild
 
 
[Verse 4]

G            Em
 I had a revelation
       C             G
As the tractor dug a hole
G      D              Em
 I can tell you right now
D       C         D
 That a dog has a soul
G                   Em
 And I thought to myself
      C            G
As we buried her on the hill
G                  Em
 I never knew me a better dog
      C            G
And I guess I never will
 
 
[Chorus]

G           Bm
Run, Maggie run
         C                G
With the heart of a rebel child
    G           Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run
           C               G      C
Be just as free as you are wild
 
    G    D      Em  D
Oh, run, Maggie run
         C                G
With the heart of a rebel child
    G           Em
Oh, run, Maggie run
           C               G
Be just as free as you are wild
