C#                  B                         F#
Wake up, Maggie, I think I got some-thing to say to you:
     C#                    B                F#
Itʼs late September and I really should be back at school.
  B                       F#        B              C#
I know I keep you amused,    but I feel Iʼm being used.
    G#m                      A#m          G#m
Oh, Maggie, I couldnʼt have tried any more.
    G#m                      C#               G#m
You lured me away from home,    just to save you from being alone.
C#        G#m                C#
    You stole my heart and thatʼs what really hurts.
F#       C#                      B                   F#
    The morning sun, when itʼs in your face really shows your age.
    C#                     B                     F#
But that donʼt worry me none; in my eyes youʼre everything.
     B                    F#         B
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didnʼt need to coax,
C#       G#m                     A#m
    Oh, Maggie I couldnʼt have tried any more.
     G#m                     C#           G#m
You lured me away from home,    just to save you from being alone.
C#       G#m                     C#
      You stole my soul thatʼs a pain I can do without.
F#     C#                B                F#
      All I need was a friend to lend a guiding hand.
        C#                       F#                        F#
But you turned into a lover and Mother what a lover your wore me out.
        B                 F#              B
All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning kick me in the head,
C#          G#m                     A#m         G#m
       Oh, Maggie I couldnʼt have tried any more.
A#m          G#m                      C#
       You lured me away from home,     ʼcause you didʼnt want to be alone.
C#           G#m                       C#
       You stole my heart I couldnʼt leave you if I tried.
F#      C#                      c                   F#
       I suppose I could collect my books and get back to school.
    C#                       B                    F#
Or steal my daddyʼs cue and make a living out of playing pool.
    B                             F#       B
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand,
C#        G#m                 A#m               G#m
     Oh, Maggie, I wish Iʼd never seen your face.
                                    C#
You made a first class fool out of me,
           G#m                      C#
but Iʼm as blind as a fool can be.
    G#m                     C#       B7
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway.
F#              G#m                 B
Maggie, I wish I never seen your face.
F#                        G#m                B
        Iʼll get on back home one of these days.
