Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you
      A                     G              D
It's late September and I really should be back at school
  G                             G              A  
I know I keep you amused But I feel I'm being used
    Em                      Gbm     Em     A     A
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried any more
    Em               A            Em                   A
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
     Em                  A                  D
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts 
 
 
   A                       G                  D 
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
    A                   G                       D
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
  G           D                  G                      A  
I laughed at all your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax 
     Em                    Gbm      Em     A      A 
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried any more

You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
    Em                     A                D
You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without
 
 
A                  G                  D
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
          A                      G                       D
But you turned into a lover and mother what a lover you wore me out
 G                       D               G                      A
All you did was wreck my bed And in the morning kick me in the head  
     Em                    Gbm      Em    A      A 
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried any more  
    Em               A               Em                 A
You led me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone 
     Em                        A              D

I suppose I should collect my books and get back to school
     A              G                          D
Or steal my daddy's cue make a living out of playing pool
    G                          D         G               A
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand 
     Em               Gbm             Em    A      A 
Oh Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face

You made a first class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be
