Tom: G
G Em
Let me tell you a story
C G C
About an old friend of mine
G D/F# Em D
Somebody left her in a shopping cart
C D
In a parking lot for us to find
G Em
Just a fuzzy black pup
C G C
She was hungry and feeling alone
G Em
We put her in the back seat
C G C
And told her we were taking her home
[Chorus]
G Bm
Run, Maggie run
C G C/G
With the heart of a rebel child
G Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run
C G C
Be just as free as you are wild
[Verse 2]
G Em
A few kids later
C G C
We moved out on the farm
G D/F# Em D
And she followed those kids around
C D
Yeah, she kept them safe from harm
G Em
And she loved to chase squirrels
C G C
And playing out in the snow
G Em
She'd take off like a bullet
C G C
Man, you should have seen her go
[Chorus]
G Bm
Run, Maggie run
C G C/G
With the heart of a rebel child
G Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run
C G C
Be just as free as you are wild
[Interlude]
| G Em | C G | G Bm | C G C |
[Verse 3]
G Em
It was raining on a Monday
C G C
The day that Maggie died
G D/F# Em D
She woke up and couldn't use her legs
C D
So I laid down by her side
G Em
She put her head on my hand
C G C
Like she'd done so many times
G Em
I told her she was a good dog
C G C
Then I told her goodbye
[Chorus]
G Bm
Run, Maggie run
C G C/G
With the heart of a rebel child
G Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run
C G
Be just as free as you are wild
[Verse 4]
G Em
I had a revelation
C G C/G
As the tractor dug a hole
G D/F# Em D
I can tell you right now
C D
That a dog has a soul
G Em
And I thought to myself
C G
As we buried her on the hill
G Em
I never knew me a better dog
C G C/G
And I guess I never will
[Chorus]
G Bm
Run, Maggie run
C G
With the heart of a rebel child
G Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run
C G C
Be just as free as you are wild
G D/F# Em D
Oh, run, Maggie run
C G C/G
With the heart of a rebel child
G Em
Oh, run, Maggie run
C G
Be just as free as you are wild
