G                      F                C
Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you
      G                     F            C
It's late September and I really should be back at school
    F                    C         F               G
   I know I keep you amused But I feel I'm being used
    Dm                Em             Dm  (Em)
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
  G                   F               G                F
You lured me away from home just to save you from being a--lone
    Dm                               G             F - C
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts
          G                F                          C
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
      G                       F                     C
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
   F                    C         F                    G
I laughed at all your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax
     Dm             Em               Dm   (Em)
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
   G                     F               G              F
You lured me away from home just to save you from being a--lone
     Dm                     G                  F - C
You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without
    G                 F                    C
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
    G                       F                            C
But you turned into a lover and mother what a lover you wore me out
     F                   C           F                      G
All you did was wreck my bed and in the morning kick me in the head
    Dm              Em            Dm (Em)
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
    G                    F                G               F
You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
   F                           G                  F - C
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if  I  tried
  G                          F                  C
I suppose I should collect my books and get back to school
  G                             F                   C
Or steal my daddy's cue make a living out of playing pool
 F                     C          F                    G
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand
   Dm            Em                  Dm  (Em)
Oh Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face
   G                       F          G                           F
You made a first class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be
   F             G           F - C
You stole my heart but I love you any--way

This isn’t a tablature. These are chords, the name of this website should be “Ukulele Chords” instead of “Ukulele Tabs”. I don’t think I’ve come across even just ONE song that had tabs provided instead of chords.

About this song: Maggie May

"Maggie May" is a song written by singer Rod Stewart and Martin Quittenton and recorded by Stewart in 1971 for his album Every Picture Tells a Story. "Maggie May" expresses the ambivalence and contradictory emotions of a young man involved in a relationship with an older woman, and was written from Stewart's own experience. In the January, 2007 issue of Q magazine, Stewart recalled: "Maggie May was more or less a true story, about the first woman I had sex with, at the Beaulieu Jazz Festival."
