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


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


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


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


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


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


[Solo 1]

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


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