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

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 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
