G Em Let me tell you a story C G About an old friend of mine G D/F# Em D Somebody left her in a shopping cart C D In a parking lot for us to find G Em Just a fuzzy black pup C G C She was hungry and feeling alone G Em We put her in the back seat C G C And told her we were taking her home Chorus: G Bm Run, Maggie run C G C/G With the heart of a rebel child G Bm Oh, run, Maggie run C G C Be just as free as you are wild A few kids later We moved out on the farm And she followed those kids around Yeah, she kept them safe from harm And she loved to chase squirrels And playin' out in the snow She'd take off like a bullet Man, you should have seen her go Chorus It was rainin' on a Monday The day that Maggie died She woke up and couldn't use her legs So I laid down by her side She put her head on my hand Like she'd done so many times I told her she was a good dog Then I told her goodbye Chorus I had a revelation As the tractor dug a hole I can tell you right now That a dog has a soul And I thought to myself As we buried her on the hill I never knew me a better dog And I guess I never will Chorus - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  D  Em  F#  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
