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.

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 what really hurts.
The morning sun, when it’s in your face 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 lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone.
You stole my soul that’s a pain I can do without.
All I need was a friend to lend a guiding hand.
But you turned into a lover and Mother what a lover your 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 lured me away from home, ’cause you did’nt want to be alone.
You stole my heart I couldn’t leave you if I tried.
I suppose I could collect my books and get back to school.
Or steal my daddy’s cue and make a living out of playing pool.
Or find myself a rock and 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’m as blind as a fool can be.
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway.
Maggie, I wish I never seen your face.
I’ll get on back home one of these days.
