1. 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               D             G             A
    I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used.
        Em                     F#m       Em   
    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
2. 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                     F#m        Em  
    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 soul that's a pain I can do without.
    A                   G                D
3. 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                     F#m       Em  
    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
    You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if, I tried.

4. 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                  F#m              Em  
    Oh Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face.
                Em                     A              Em                  A
    You made a first class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be.
         Em                   A           D     
    You stole my heart but I love you anyway.
