VERSE 1:
[A#] Wake up Maggie, I
[G#] think I got something to
[D#] say to you
It's
[A#] late September and I
[G#] really should be
[D#] back at school
I
[G#] know I keep you a-
[D#]-mused, but I
[G#] feel I'm being
[A#] used
Oh
[Fm] Maggie, I couldn't have
[Gm7] tried, any-
[Fm]-more ^
[D#5/G]
CHORUS 1:
You
[Fm] led me away from
[A#] home, just to
[Fm] save you from being a-
[A#]-lone
You
[Fm] stole my heart, and
[A#] that's what really
[D#] hurts
VERSE 2:
The
[A#] morning sun, when it's
[G#] in your face really shows your
[D#] age
But
[A#] that don't worry me
[G#] none; in my eyes you're
[D#] everything
I
[G#] laughed at all of your
[D#] jokes, my
[G#] love you didn't need to
[A#] coax
Oh
[Fm] Maggie, I couldn't have
[Gm7] tried any-
[Fm]-more ^
[D#5/G]
CHORUS 2:
You
[Fm] led me away from
[A#] home, just to
[Fm] save you from being a-
[A#]-lone
You
[Fm] stole my soul, and that's a
[A#] pain I can do with-
[D#]-out
VERSE 3:
[A#] All I needed was a
[G#] friend to lend a
[D#] guiding hand
But you
[A#] turned into a lover and
[G#] mother what a lover, you
[D#] wore me out
[G#] All you did was wreck my
[D#] bed, and in the
[G#] morning kick me in the
[A#] head
Oh
[Fm] Maggie, I couldn't have
[Gm7] tried any-
[Fm]-more ^
[D#5/G]
CHORUS 3:
You
[Fm] led me away from
[A#] home, 'cause you
[Fm] didn't want to be a-
[A#]-lone
You
[Fm] stole my heart; I couldn't
[A#] leave you if I
[D#] tried
INSTRUMENTAL:
[Fm] [A#] [D#] [G#] //
[Fm] [G#] [D#] [D#]
VERSE 4:
[A#] I suppose I could
[G#] collect my books and get
[D#] back to school
Or
[A#] steal my daddy's
[G#] cue and make a living out of
[D#] playing pool
Or
[G#] find myself a rock and roll
[D#] band, that
[G#] needs a helping
[A#] hand
Oh
[Fm] Maggie, I wished I'd
[Gm7] never seen your
[Fm] face ^
[D#5/G]
CHORUS 4:
You made a
[Fm] first class fool out of
[A#] me, but I'm as
[Fm] blind as a fool can
[A#] be
You
[Fm] stole my heart, but I
[A#] love you any-
[D#]-way

OUTRO:
[D#] Maggie, I
[Fm] wished I'd
[G#] never seen your
[D#] face
[D#] [Fm] [G#] [D#]
[D#] I'll get on back
[Fm] home
[G#] one of these
[D#] days
