MAGGIE MAY

Rod Stewart

[D] Wake up Maggie
I [C] think I've got something to [G] say to you
It's [D] late September and
I [C] really should be [G] back at school
I [C] know I keep you a-[G]-mused
But I [C] feel I'm being [D] used
Oh [Am] Maggie I couldn`t have [Bm] tried any [Am7] more
You [Am] lured me away from [D] home
Just to [Am] save you from being a-[D]-lone
You [Am] stole my heart, and [D] that's what really [G] hurts

The [D] morning sun when it's [C] in your face
Really [G] shows your age
But [D] that don't worry me [C] none,
In my eyes you're [G] everything
I [C] laughed at all your [G] jokes,
My [C] love you didn't need to [D] coax
Oh [Am] Maggie I couldn`t have [Bm] tried any [Am] more [Bm]
You [Am] lured me away from [D] home
Just to [Am] save you from being a-[D]-lone
You [Am] stole my soul, that's a [D] pain I can do with-[G]-out

[D] All I needed was was a [C] friend
To lend a [G] guiding hand
But you [D] turned into a lover and
[C] Mother what a lover you [G] wore me out
[C] All you did was wreck my [G] bed
And in the [C] morning kick me in the [D] head
Oh [Am] Maggie I couldn`t have [Bm] tried any [Am] more [Bm]
You [Am] lured me away from [D] home
'Cause you [Am] didn't want to be a-[D]-lone
You [Am] stole my heart, I couldn't [D] leave you if I [G] tried

[D] I suppose I could col-[C]-lect my books
And get on [G] back to school
Or [D] steal my daddy's [C] cue
And make a living out of [G] playing pool
Or [C] find myself a rock and roll [G] band
That [C] needs a helping [D] hand
Oh [Am] Maggie, I wish I'd [Bm] never seen your [Am] face
You made a [Am] first class fool out of [D] me
But I'm as [Am] blind as a fool can [D] be
You [Am] stole my heart but I [D] love you [C7] any-[G]-way
