Maggie May
Rod Stewert
Here is the publishers version of this song. The D/F# chord can be skipped and
it will still sound good Enjoy
[Verse 1]
A G D
Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you
A G D
It's late September and I real____ly 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 D/F#
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
Em A Em A
You led 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
[Verse 2]
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 laugh 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 led me away from home just to save you from being alone
Em A G D
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without
[Verse 3]
A G D
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
A G D
But you turned into a lover and mother what a lover you 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 D
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
Em A Em A
You led me away from home ‘cause you didn't want to be alone
Em A G D
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried
[Instrumental]
Em, A, D, G, Em, G, G/A, D
[Verse 4]
A G D
I suppose I could collect my books and get on 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 D/F#
Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
Em A Em A
You made a first class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be
Em A G D
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
[Instrumental]
D Em G D
Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
D Em G D
I'll get back home one of these days
