Wake up, Maggie, I think I got some-thing to say to you: 
     D                    C                G 
It's late September and I really should be back at school. 
  C                       G        C              D 
I know I keep you amused,    but I feel I'm being used. 
    Am                      Bm          Am7 
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more. 
    Am                      D               Am 
You lured me away from home,    just to save you from being alone. 
D        Am                D 
    You stole my heart and that's what really hurts. 
G       D                      C                   G 
    The morning sun, when it's in your face really shows your age. 
    D                     C                     G 
But that don't worry me none; in my eyes you're everything. 
     C                    G         C 
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax, 
D       Am                     Bm 
    Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more. 
     Am                     D           Am 
You lured me away from home,    just to save you from being alone. 
D       Am                     D 
      You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without. 
G     D                C                G 
      All I need was a friend to lend a guiding hand. 
        D                       G                        G 
But you turned into a lover and Mother what a lover your wore me out. 
        C                 G              C 
All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning kick me in the head, 
D          Am                     Bm         Am 
       Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more. 
Bm          Am                      D 
       You lured me away from home,     'cause you did'nt want to be alone. 
D           Am                       D 
       You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried. 
G      D                      C                   G 
       I suppose I could collect my books and get back to school. 
    D                       C                    G 
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool. 
    C                             G       C 
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand, 
D        Am                 Bm               Am 
     Oh, Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face. 
                                    D 
You made a first class fool out of me, 
           Am                      D 
but I'm as blind as a fool can be. 
    Am                     D       C7 
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway. 
G              Am                 C 
Maggie, I wish I never seen your face. 
G                        Am                C 
        I'll get on back home one of these days.
