Maggie May chords by Rod Stewart (Ver. 4)

Intro: A G D A 2x

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

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

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

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


  Em          A    G D
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway.
