MAGGIE MAY                    Rod Stewart


D                  C                           G
Wake up, Maggie, I think I've got something 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.
    Em                      Bm        Am    D
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more.
    Am               D            Am                  D
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone;
    Am                          D             G
You stole my heart and that's a pain I can do without.



The morning sun when it's in your eyes really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything.
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax,
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more.
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's a pain I can do without.


All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand,
But 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 any more.
You led me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone,
You stole my soul, I couldn't leave you if I tried.


I suppose I should collect my books and go back to school,
Or steal my Daddy's cue and make a living out of playing Pool,
Or find myself a Rock'n'Roll band that needs a helping hand,
Oh, Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face.
You made a first class fool out of me, but I was blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway.
