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


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


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


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


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


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


[Solo 1]
G#m  C#  F#  B
G#m  B  F#  F#


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


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

[Outro]

Maggie, I wish I’d never seen your face
F#                G#m    B            F#
