Verse 1 (0:46) (steel string 
acoustic)
A                G           
Wake up Maggie I think I've got 
                D
something to say to you
      A                   G    
It's late september and I really 
            D
should be back at school
  G               D            G 
I know I keep you amused But I 
             A
feel I'm being used
      Em                  F#m     
Oh Maggie I couldn`t have tried 
  Em     A
any more
       Em              A          
You lured me away from home just 
  Em                  A
to save you from being alone
       Em               A         
You stole my heart, and that's 
         D
what really hurts


Verse 2 (1:30) (steel string 
acoustic)
       A                  G       
The morning sun when it's in your 
            D
face really shows your age
       A                G         
But that don't worry me none, in 
              D
my eyes you're everything
  G                   D         G
I laughed at all your jokes, my 
                       A
love you didn't need to coax

     Em                   F#m     
Oh Maggie I couldn`t have tried 
  Em     A
any more
       Em              A          
You lured me away from home just 
  Em                  A
to save you from being alone
       Em                  A      
You stole my soul that's a pain I 
           D
can do without

Verse 3 (2:15) (steel string 
acoustic)
A                  G             
All I needed was a friend to lend
   D
 a guiding hand
             A                 
But you turned into a lover and 
 G                       D
mother what a lover you wore me out
            G            D        
All you did was wreck my bed And 
      G                      A
in the morning kick me in the head
     Em                   F#m     
Oh Maggie I couldn`t have tried 
  Em     A
any more
       Em              A          
You lured me away from home 'cause
     Em                A
 you didn't want to be alone
       Em                     A   
You stole my heart I couldn't 
           D
leave you if I tried

Verse 4 (3:15) (steel string 
acoustic)

        A          G              
I suppose I should collect my 
          D
books and get back to school
     A              G        
Or steal my daddy's cue make a 
                D
living out of playing pool

Oh Maggie, I wish I'd never seen 
       Em     A
your face
                   Em              
You made a first class fool out of 
A              Em                 
me, but I'm as blind as a fool can 
 A
be
       Em                A        
You stole my heart but I love you 
   D
anyway
