&quot;Maggie May&quot; is a song written by singer Rod Stewart and Martin Quittenton and recorded by Stewart in 1971 for his album Every Picture Tells a Story. &quot;Maggie May&quot; expresses the ambivalence and contradictory emotions of a young man involved in a relationship with an older woman, and was written from Stewart's own experience. In the January, 2007 issue of Q magazine, Stewart recalled: &quot;Maggie May was more or less a true story, about the first woman I had sex with, at the Beaulieu Jazz Festival.&quot; 

Every Picture Tells A Story

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
    Dm                Em             Dm  (Em)
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
  G                   F               G                F
You lured me away from home just to save you from being a--lone
    Dm                               G             F - C
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts
          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
     Dm             Em               Dm   (Em)
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
   G                     F               G              F
You lured me away from home just to save you from being a--lone
     Dm                     G                  F - C
You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without
    G                 F                    C
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
    G                       F                            C
But you turned into a lover and mother what a lover you wore me out
     F                   C           F                      G
All you did was wreck my bed and in the morning kick me in the head
    Dm              Em            Dm (Em)
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
    G                    F                G               F
You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
   F                           G                  F - C
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if  I  tried
  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
   Dm            Em                  Dm  (Em)
Oh Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face
   G                       F          G                           F
You made a first class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be
   F             G           F - C
You stole my heart but I love you any--way

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade

and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E

because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

get a friend to strum the chords: C, G, Em, D in the background
