Maggie Creek Road

Biography:

Reba Nell McEntire (born on March 28, 1955 - Kiowa, Oklahoma, USA) is a Grammy Award-winning singer and one of the best-selling country music performers of all time, known for her pop-tinged ballads that include 24 #1 hits. She has issued 28 studio albums and 13 compilations, with more than 50 million records sold as of 2007.

With a contract to Mercury Records (1975), McEntire began her professional career singing heavily pop-influenced ballads, a far cry from the neotraditionalist movement she would help lead a few years later.

Reba McEntire - Maggie Creek Road

CAPO: 3rd Fret

INTRO: Em Am Em D Em Am Em D

C Em
Mama stood on the front porch ringing her hands
C Em
Watched the tail lights fading on his black Trans Am
C Em
With her precious little baby taking off inside
C Em
Staring at him with stars in her eyes
C Em
She tried to tell her, but the girl might as well have been deaf
C Em
She wasn't gonna listen to a word she said

CHORUS:
G Am Em
Don't go down Maggie Creek Road
C D Em
With a boy looking like that
G Am Em
He'll tell ya things that you wanna hear
C D Em
And there'll be no turning back
G Am Em
There's an oak tree down by the lake
C D Em
In the shade where the wild flowers grow
G Am
What'll happen only heaven knows
C B7 Em
So don't go down Maggie Creek Road

INSTRUMENTAL: Am Em D Em Am Em D

C Em
Was a still black night as dark as coal
C Em
Nobody heard her when she said 'No'
C Em
She kicked and screamed and got free somehow
C Em
Tore her dress on the door when he pushed her out
C Em
She walked thirteen miles on the gravel road
C Em
With tears in her eyes, twenty years ago

CHORUS:
G Am Em
Don't go down Maggie Creek Road
C D Em
With a boy looking like that
G Am Em
He'll tell ya things that you wanna hear
C D Em
And there'll be no turning back
G Am Em
There's an oak tree down by the lake
C D Em
In the shade where the wild flowers grow
G Am
What'll happen only heaven knows
C B7 Em
So don't go down Maggie Creek Road

INSTRUMENTAL: D C D C B
Em Am Em D Em Am Em D

C Em
Somehow mamas always know
C Em
'Cause they should have been home an hour ago
C Em
When she pulled up, it was just going down
C Em
She turned her headlights off, didn't make a sound
C Em
She heard her baby crying 'No', but he wouldn't stop
C Em
Her heart went cold and her blood ran hot
C Em
With a pistol in her hand, she opened his door
C Em
You don't wanna see mama go to war

CHORUS:
G Am Em
Don't go down Maggie Creek Road
C D Em
With a boy looking like that
G Am Em
He'll tell ya things that you wanna hear
C D Em
And there'll be no turning back
G Am Em
There's an oak tree down by the lake
C D Em
In the shade where the wild flowers grow
G Am
What'll happen only heaven knows
C B7 C B7
So don't go down, I say, don't go down
