Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
G                  Em
 Let me tell you a story
 C                      G   C
About an old friend of mine
G         D/F#             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   C
She was hungry and feeling alone
G         D/F#             Em
 We put her in the back seat
    C                           G      C
And told her we were taking her home

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


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


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


Interlude:
G  Em  C  G
G  Bm  C  G


Verse 3:
G                    Em
 It was raining on a Monday
    C               G
The day that Maggie died
G         D/F#             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         D/F#             Em
 I told her she was a good dog
     C             G
Then I told her goodbye


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


Verse 4:
G            Em
 I had a revelation
       C             G
As the tractor dug a hole
G         D/F#             Em
 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         D/F#             Em
 I never knew me a better dog
      C            G
And I guess I never will


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

 G          Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run
         C                G
With the heart of a rebel child
    G           Em
Oh, run, Maggie run
           C               G
Be just as free as you are wild
