Verse 1:
G+G                  E minorEm
 Let me tell you a story
 C majorC                      G+G   C majorC
About an old friend of mine
G+G         D/F#D/F#             E minorEm
 Somebody left her in a shopping cart
      C majorC                 D MajorD
 In a parking lot for us to find
G+G                   E minorEm
 Just a fuzzy black pup
        C majorC                     G+G   C majorC
She was hungry and feeling alone
G+G         D/F#D/F#             E minorEm
 We put her in the back seat
    C majorC                           G+G      C majorC
And told her we were taking her home


Chorus:
G+G           B minorBm
Run, Maggie run
         C majorC           G+G       C majorC
With the heart of a rebel child
    G+G           B minorBm
Oh, run, Maggie run
           C majorC               G+G
Be just as free as you are wild


Verse 2:
G+G           E minorEm
 A augmentedA few kids later
   C majorC                G+G     C majorC
We moved out on the farm
G+G         D/F#D/F#             E minorEm
 And she followed those kids around
          C majorC                    D MajorD
 Yeah, she kept them safe from harm
G+G                       E minorEm
 And she loved to chase squirrels
    C majorC                    G+G    C majorC
And playing out in the snow
G+G         D/F#D/F#             E minorEm
 She'd take off like a bullet
    C majorC                         G+G   C majorC
Man, you should have seen her go

Verse 3:
G+G                    E minorEm
 It was raining on a Monday
    C majorC               G+G
The day that Maggie died
G+G         D/F#D/F#             E minorEm
 She woke up and couldn't use her legs
     C majorC              D MajorD
So I laid down by her side
G+G                       E minorEm
 She put her head on my hand
           C majorC            G+G
Like she'd done so many times
G+G         D/F#D/F#             E minorEm
 I told her she was a good dog
     C majorC             G+G
Then I told her goodbye


Chorus:
G+G           B minorBm
Run, Maggie run
         C majorC                G+G
With the heart of a rebel child
    G+G           B minorBm
Oh, run, Maggie run
           C majorC               G+G      C majorC
Be just as free as you are wild


Verse 4:
G+G            E minorEm
 I had a revelation
       C majorC             G+G
As the tractor dug a hole
G+G         D/F#D/F#             E minorEm
 I can tell you right now
       C majorC         D MajorD
 That a dog has a soul
G+G                   E minorEm
 And I thought to myself
      C majorC            G+G
As we buried her on the hill
G+G         D/F#D/F#             E minorEm
 I never knew me a better dog
      C majorC            G+G
And I guess I never will


Chorus:
G+G           B minorBm
Run, Maggie run
         C majorC                G+G
With the heart of a rebel child
    G+G           B minorBm
Oh, run, Maggie run
           C majorC               G+G      C majorC
Be just as free as you are wild

 G+G          B minorBm
Oh, run, Maggie run
         C majorC                G+G
With the heart of a rebel child
    G+G           E minorEm
Oh, run, Maggie run
           C majorC               G+G
Be just as free as you are wild
