This is my first post to the guitar newsgroup. So please be kind. These are
what I think are the chords to Maggie May. Corrections welcomed. By the way
can anyone tab the main riff in this song.
Enjoy:
SONG: MAGGIE MAY
D C G
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.
Am Bm Am7
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more.
Am D Am
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone.
D Am D
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts.
G D C G
The morning sun, when it's in your face really shows your age.
D C G
But that don't worry me none; in my eyes you're everything.
C G C
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax,
D Am Bm
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more.
Am D Am
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone.
D Am D
You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without.
G D C G
All I need was a friend to lend a guiding hand.
D G G
But you turned into a lover and Mother what a lover your wore me out.
C G C
All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning kick me in the head,
D Am Bm Am
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more.
Bm Am D
You lured me away from home, 'cause you did'nt want to be alone.
D Am D
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried.
G D c G
I suppose I could collect my books and get back to school.
D C G
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool.
C G C
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand,
D Am Bm Am
Oh, Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face.
D
You made a first class fool out of me,
Am D
but I'm as blind as a fool can be.
Am D C7
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway.
G Am C
Maggie, I wish I never seen your face.
G Am C
I'll get on back home one of these days.
