Intro: A augmentedA G+G D MajorD A augmentedA 2x

A augmentedA         G+G             D MajorD
Wake up, Maggie, I think I got some-thing to say to you:
   A augmentedA          G+G        D MajorD
It’s late September and I really should be back at school.
 G+G        D MajorD      G+G       A augmentedA
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I’m being used.
  E minorEm           F# minorF#m    E minorEm
Oh, Maggie, I couldn’t have tried any more.
  E minorEm         A augmentedA       E minorEm          A augmentedA
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone.
  E minorEm         A augmentedA      G+G   D MajorD
You stole my heart and that’s what really hurts.

  A augmentedA           G+G          D MajorD
The morning sun, when it’s in your face really shows your age.
  A augmentedA          G+G            D MajorD
But that don’t worry me none; in my eyes you’re everything.
 G+G           D MajorD     G+G            A augmentedA
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn’t need to coax,
  E minorEm           F# minorF#m    E minorEm
Oh, Maggie I couldn’t have tried any more.
  E minorEm         A augmentedA       E minorEm          A augmentedA
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone.
  E minorEm           A augmentedA     G+G   D MajorD
You stole my soul that’s a pain I can do without.

A augmentedA        G+G        D MajorD
All I need was a friend to lend a guiding hand.
    A augmentedA            G+G            D MajorD
But you turned into a lover and Mother what a lover your wore me out.
G+G            D MajorD        G+G           A augmentedA
All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning kick me in the head,
  E minorEm           F# minorF#m    E minorEm
Oh, Maggie I couldn’t have tried any more.
  E minorEm         A augmentedA       E minorEm          A augmentedA
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone.
  E minorEm            A augmentedA     G+G  D MajorD
You stole my heart I couldn’t leave you if I tried.

A augmentedA         G+G            D MajorD
I suppose I could collect my books and get back to school.
  A augmentedA        G+G              D MajorD
Or steal my daddy’s cue and make a living out of playing pool.
  G+G              D MajorD     G+G        A augmentedA
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand,
  E minorEm         F# minorF#m       E minorEm
Oh, Maggie, I wish I’d never seen your face.
  E minorEm               A augmentedA
You made a first class fool out of me,
      E minorEm         A augmentedA
but I’m as blind as a fool can be.

  E minorEm          A augmentedA    G+G D MajorD
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway.
