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


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


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


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


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


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


[Solo 1]

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


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

[Outro]
G#         A#m       C#               G#    G#  A#m  C#  G#
Maggie, I wish I’d never seen your face
G#                A#m    C#            G#
I’ll get on back home, one of these days
G#  A#m  C#  G#
