A A G G D D
Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you
A A G G D D
It's late September and I really should be back at school
G G G G A A
I know I keep you amused But I feel I'm being used
Em Em Gbm Gbm Em Em A A A A
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried any more
Em Em A A Em Em A A
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
Em Em A A D D
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts


A A G G D D
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
A A G G D D
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
G G D D G G A A
I laughed at all your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax
Em Em Gbm Gbm Em Em A A A A
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried any more
Em Em A A Em Em A A
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
Em Em A A D D
You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without


A A G G D D
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
A A G G D D
But you turned into a lover and mother what a lover you wore me out
G G D D G G A A
All you did was wreck my bed And in the morning kick me in the head
Em Em Gbm Gbm Em Em A A A A
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried any more
Em Em A A Em Em A A
You led me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
Em Em A A D D
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried

Solo:
Em Em A A D D G G
Em Em G G D D

A A G G D D
I suppose I should collect my books and get back to school
A A G G D D
Or steal my daddy's cue make a living out of playing pool
G G D D G G A A
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand
Em Em Gbm Gbm Em Em A A A A
Oh Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face
Em Em A A Em Em A A
You made a first class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be
Em Em A A D D
You stole my heart but I love you anyway

Solo:
Em Em A A D D G G

Maggie, I wish I’d never seen your face

D D Em Em G G D D -Mandolin-


D D Em Em G G D D
I’ll get on back home, one of these days
