[Verse 1]
  E
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
      E
No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
        E
Well, I wake up in the morning, hold my hands and pray for rain
        E
I got a head full of ideas that are driving me insane
       C#m                                  B
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
  E
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more


[Verse 2]
  E
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
      E
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
        E
Well he hands you a nickel, he hands you a dime
   E
He asks you with a grin if you're having a good time
        C#m                               B
Then he fines you every time you slam the door
  E
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more


[Verse 3]
  E
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
      E
No, I ain't work for Maggie's pa no more
        E
Well he puts his cigar out in your face just for kicks
    E
His bedroom window, it is made out of bricks
    C#m                              B
The National Guard stands around his door
  E
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
      E
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
         E
Well she talks to all the servants about Man and God and Law
          E
Everybody says she's the brains behind Pa
      C#m                                   B
She's sixty-eight, but she says she's fifty-four
  E
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more

But everybody wants you to be just like them
         C#m                                  B
They say sing while you slave, but I just get bored
  E
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
