 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 really 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   
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

     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 laughed at all 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 that's a pain I can do without

 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  
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

A                   G                        D
I suppose I should collect my books and get back to school
     A               G                          D
Or steal my daddy's cue, 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  
Oh Maggie, I wished 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           D     
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
