Maggies Song chords by Don Williams

Verse:
G                           C
Maggie's up each morning at four am
   G                              C
By five behind the counter at the diner
        G                                    C
And her trucker friends out on the road will soon be stopping in
       F               C    D7      G
As the lights go on at Cafe Carol-ina



  G                                 C
Maggie's been a waitress here most all her life
G                               C
Thirty years of coffee cups and sore feet
    G                                     C
The mountains around Ashville she's never seen the other side
    F             C             D7  G
And closer now to fifty than to for-ty

Chorus:
         C                    G
Maggie's never had a love she said she's never had enough
C       D7          G                  C
Time to let a man into her life aw but Maggie has a dream
      G                              C      D7               G
She's had since she was seventeen to find a husband and be a wife


Verse:
G                        C
Maggie knows the truckers most by first name
G                                         C
What they'll have to say and what they'll order
         G                            C
And they take her in their stories to places far away
         F                  C                 D7   G
And then leave her with the dishes dreams and quar-ters


Chorus:
         C                    G
Maggie's never had a love she said she's never had enough
C       D7          G                  C
Time to let a man into her life aw but Maggie has a dream
      G                              C      D7               G
She's had since she was seventeen to find a husband and be a wife


          Dm
And she relies upon the jukebox on the lonely afternoon
             C
But when the business starts to slow down she plays the saddest tunes
        F                   C               F                C
And she stares off down the highway and she wonders where it goes
                                             D7
Nobody to go home to and it's almost time to close
