Tom: G

G     F     G

[Chorus]
   G                    F
Oh yonder stands little Maggie
       G          D      G
With a dram glass in her hands
      G                 F
She's drinking away her troubles
        G             D     G
She's a courting some other man

[Verse]
   G                    F
Oh how can I ever stand it
        G        D        G
Just to see them two blue eyes
  G              F
A shining in the moonlight
     G            D      G
Like two diamonds in the sky

[Verse]
G                      F
Last time a saw little Maggie
        G              D            G
She was sitting on the banks of the sea
       G             F
With a forty-four around her
      G     D      G
And a banjo on her knee

[Chorus]
   G                    F
Oh yonder stands little Maggie
       G          D      G
With a dram glass in her hands
      G                 F
She's drinking away her troubles
        G             D     G
She's a courting some other man

[Verse]
    G                   F
Lay down your last gold dollar
    G         D              G
Lay down your gold watch and chain
       G                        F
Little Maggie's gonna dance for daddy
G              D         G
Listen to that old banjo ring

[Verse]
       G                     F
Pretty flowers were made for blooming
       G          D       G
Pretty stars were made to shine
       G                   F
Pretty women were made for loving
       G          D        G
Little Maggie was made for mine

[Chorus]
   G                    F
Oh yonder stands little Maggie
       G          D      G
With a dram glass in her hands
      G                 F
She's drinking away her troubles
        G             D     G
She's a courting some other man
