[Verse]
G#                F#                           C#
Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you
     G#                    F#                C#
It's late September and I really should be back at school
  F#                C#           F#              G#
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used


[Chorus]
   D#m                      Fm     D#m     G#
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
    D#m               G#            D#m                   G#
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
     D#m                 G#                  C#
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts


[Verse]
    G#                     F#                   C#
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
    G#                   F#                       C#
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
  F#                   C#         F#                       G#
I laughed at all your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax


[Chorus]
   D#m                     Fm      D#m     G#
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
    D#m               G#            D#m                   G#
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
    D#m                     G#                 C#
You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without


[Verse]
G#                  F#                C#
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
        G#                       F#
But you turned into a lover and mother
                 C#
what a lover you wore me out
F#                        C#
All you did was wreck my bed,
           F#                      G#
and in the morning kick me in the head


[Chorus]
   D#m                     Fm      D#m    G#
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
    D#m               G#                D#m                 G#
You led me away from home, 'cause you didn't want to be alone
     D#m                       G#              C#
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried


[Solo 1]

[Verse]
   G#                 F#                      C#
I suppose I should collect my books and get back to school
    G#               F#                        C#
Or steal my daddy's cue make a living out of playing pool
   F#                           C#          F#               G#
Or find myself a rock and roll band, that needs a helping hand


[Chorus]
   D#m                 Fm             D#m    G#
Oh Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face
           D#m                      G#
You made a first class fool out of me,
           D#m                  G#
but I'm as blind as a fool can be
     D#m                  G#           C#
You stole my heart but I love you anyway

C#         D#m       F#               C#    C#  D#m  F#  C#
Maggie, I wish I’d never seen your face
C#                D#m    F#            C#
I’ll get on back home, one of these days
C#  D#m  F#  C#
