INTRO: G
VERSE:
G Em
Let me tell you a story
C G
About an old friend of mine
G Gmaj7 Em
Somebody left her in a shopping cart
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
Told her we were taking her home
CHORUS:
G G/B
Run, Maggie, run
C G
With the heart of a rebel child
G Gmaj7
Oh, run, Maggie, run
C G
Be just as free as you are wild
VERSE:
G Em
A few kids later
C G
We moved out on the farm
G Gmaj7 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
Man, you should have seen her go
CHORUS:
G G/B
Run, Maggie, run
C G
With the heart of a rebel child
G Gmaj7
Oh, run, Maggie, run
C G
Be just as free as you are wild
INSTRUMENTAL:
G G/B C G x2
.
VERSE:
G Em
It was raining on a Monday
C G
The day that Maggie died
G Gmaj7 Em
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 G/B
Run, Maggie, run
C G
With the heart of a rebel child
G Gmaj7
Oh, run, Maggie, run
C G
Be just as free as you are wild
OUTRO:
G Em
I had a revelation
C G
As the tractor dug a hole
G Gmaj7 Em D
I can tell you right now
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
