Maggie May      (midi)

 

        G                          F                                       C

1. Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you.

           G                                F                        C

    It's late September and I really should be back at school.

          F                         C                  F                     G

    I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used.

           Dm                               Em          Dm     - G

    Oh Maggie I couldn`t have tried any more.

            Dm                            G                 Dm                               G

    You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone.

            Dm                           G                        C

    You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts.

 

              G                               F                                C

2. The morning sun, when it's in your face, really shows your age.

            G                             F                                    C

    But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything.

        F                            C              F                                  G

    I laughed at all your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax.

           Dm                               Em           Dm   - G

    Oh Maggie I couldn`t have tried any more.

            Dm                            G                 Dm                             G

    You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone.

            Dm                              G                        C

    You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without.

 

     G                             F                      C

3. All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand.

                 G                                    F                                       C

  But you turned into a lover and, mother, what a lover, you wore me out.

     F                                        C                       F                                   G

    All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning kick me in the head.

           Dm                               Em          Dm   - G

    Oh Maggie I couldn`t have tried any more  

            Dm                            G                        Dm                        G

    You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone.

            Dm                                    G                   C

    You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if, I tried.

 

    G                             F                                       C

4. I suppose I should collect my books and get back to school.

           G                         F                                      C

    Or steal my daddy's cue, make a living out of playing pool.

           F                                       C                 F                        G

    Or find myself a rock and roll band,  that needs a helping hand.

           Dm                           Em                     Dm  -  G

    Oh Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face.

                        Dm                            G                    Dm                         G

    You made a first class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be.

            Dm                           G                  C     - G-F-C  -  G-F-C

    You stole my heart but I love you anyway.
