D Wake up, Maggie, C G I think I got something to say to you D C It's late September, and I really G should be back at school C G C D I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used Am Bm Am D Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more Am D Am You led me away from home just to save you from D 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 led me away from home, just to save you from being alone You stole my soul, 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 anymore You led me away from home 'cause you didn't 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 on 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 helpin' 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'd never seen your face I'll get on back home one of these days | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm  Bm  C  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
