[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]
   Dm                      Em     Dm     G
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
    Dm               G            Dm                   G
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
     Dm                 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]
   Dm                     Em      Dm     G
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
    Dm               G            Dm                   G
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
    Dm                     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]
   Dm                     Em      Dm    G
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
    Dm               G                Dm                 G
You led me away from home, 'cause you didn't want to be alone
     Dm                       G              C
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried

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

C  Dm  F  C
Oh
