E D A Wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you E D A It's late September and I really should be back at school D A D E I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used Bm F#m Bm Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore Chorus: Bm E You led me away from home Bm E Just to save you from being alone Bm You stole my heart E A And that's what really hurts All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand You turned into a lover and mother, what a lover, you wore me out All you did was wreck my bed and in the morning, kick me in the head Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore Chorus: You led me away from home Just to save you from being alone You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried I suppose I could collect my books and go back to school I'll steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool I'll find myself a rock 'n' roll band that needs a helping hand Oh, Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face Chorus: You made a first class fool of me But I'm as blind as a fool can be You stole my heart But I love you anyway You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA D E F#m Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
