[Intro]
Em  D  Em  C  C/B  Am  Em  G (hammer on the A string)  D
 
[Verse 1]
Em      D                 Em        C   C/B
 When I first set eyes on you
Am         Em          G                  D
 First you beat me up, then you kissed me too
Em          D              Em       C   C/B
 We'd throw stone into the sea
Am              Em           G            D
 There were no others there, just you and me
Em             D                   Em     C   C/B
 I crossed the bridge and down the lane
Am        Em              G                     D
 I knew I loved you then, you said you did the same
 
 
[Chorus]
C   G       C              G
 Oh Maggie,  what have you done?
C                    G                            D
 I should've seen it coming, and to your side I'd run
C   G       C            G
 Oh Maggie, come to me tonight
C            G                              D
 I will wait up for you, make sure you're alright
Em    D    Em    C   C/B   Am   Em   G   D
I miss you
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em            D              Em     C   C/B
You taught me how to sink or swim 
Am           Em
 when I was scared that day 
G                  D
you just pushed me in 
Em        D            Em           C   C/B
 and when nobody was around 
Am          Em
 you let me kiss you then 
G                 D
there the love I found 
Em          D             Em        C   C/B
 I said I'd never let you go 
Am         Em
 you just smiled at me 
G             D
 how was I to know?
 
[Chorus]
C    G       C             G
 Oh, Maggie,  what am I to do? 
C          G                          D
 How I can live with only memories of you? 
C    G       C           G
 Oh, Maggie, tell me the truth 
C                  G
when your ship was sinking 
G                 D
 did you think it through? 
Em       D    Em    C   C/B   Am   Em   G   D
I miss you
 
 
[verse 3]
Em            D              Em     C   C/B
 You were the fountain of my youth 
Am          Em
 and when I fumbled 
G                     D
you showed me what to do 
Em           D              Em      C   C/B
 and when we were both seventeen 
Am           Em
 you left me standing there 
G                  D
but you were never mean 
Em          D                Em     C   C/B
 and when I saw you out with him 
Am              Em
 he looked much older and 
G               D
you looked very thin 
 
 
[Verse 4]
Em        D                 Em      C   C/B
 I hadn't heard from you in years 
Am         Em
 then your mama called 
G                      D
she couldn't speak for tears 
Em            D         Em      C   C/B
 she said you left me a note 
Am         Em
 inside my pocket burns with
G               D
these words you wrote 
 
 
[Chorus]
C     G            C                 G
  Hey darling boy, don't you cry for me 
C        G
 I am forever yours 
G             D
now that i am free 
C           G
 we'll be together put
C               G
stones into the sea 
C              G
 they'll be no others there 
G            D
just you and me 
Em    D        Em    C  C/B   Am   Em   G   D
  I   miss you       Maggie's gone 
Em    D        Em    C  C/B   Am   Em  G   D
                     Maggie's gone 
 
 
[verse 5]
Em           D              Em     C   C/B
 I think you came the other night 
Am              Em
 you stroked my brow 
     G                 D
your eyes were full of light 
Em        D           Em      C   C/B
 may have only been a dream 
Am            Em
 but i would walk with you to
G        D
places i never have 
Em       D    Em    C  C/B   Am   Em  G   D
been                Maggie's gone
Em       D    Em    C  C/B   Am   Em  G   D
                    Maggie's gone
Em       D    Em    C  C/B   Am   Em  G   D   Em
