Lyrics and Chords


Wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts

/ A G D - / / G D G A / Em F#m Em EmG / 
     / Em A Em A / Em A D - /

The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and, mother, what a lover you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried

Interlude: / A G D G / G A D - /

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue, and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand
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
You stole my heart but I love you anyway

{Interlude}

Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home, one of these days, ooh hoo-ooh
