Chris Stapleton – Maggies Song (Guitar)

G                  Em
 Let me tell you a story

 C                  G         C
About an old friend   of mine

G         D/F#          Em           D
 Somebody left her in a shopping cart

      C                  D
 In a parking lot for us   to find

G                   Em
 Just a fuzzy black pup

        C                  G     C
She was hungry and feeling alone

G                  Em
 We put her in the back seat

    C                       G        C
And told her we were taking her home

G           Bm
Run, Maggie run

         C                G      C/G
With the heart of a rebel child

    G           Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run

           C               G       C
Be just as free as you are   wild

G           Em
 A few kids later

   C            G           C
We moved out on   the farm

G        D/F#           Em            D
 And she followed those kids around

           C              D
 Yeah, she kept them safe   from harm

G                       Em
 And she loved to chase squirrels

    C              G            C
And playing out in   the snow

G                      Em
 She'd take off like a bullet

    C                      G       C
Man,  you should have seen her go

G           Bm
Run, Maggie run

         C                G      C/G
With the heart of a rebel child

    G           Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run

           C               G        C
Be just as free as you are   wild

G                    Em
 It was raining on a Monday

    C               G      C
The day that Maggie died

G         D/F#            Em      D
 She woke up and couldn't use her legs

     C            D
So I laid down by   her side

G                       Em
 She put her head on my hand

           C            G       C
Like she'd done so many times

G                     Em
 I told her she was a good dog

     C          G         C
Then I told her goodbye

G           Bm
Run, Maggie run

         C                G      C/G
With the heart of a rebel child

    G           Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run

           C               G
Be just as free as you are   wild

G            Em
 I had a revelation

       C             G    C/G
As the tractor dug a hole

G      D/F#           Em   D
 I can tell you right now

        C   D
 That a dog has a soul

G                   Em
 And I thought to myself

      C             G
As we buried her on   the hill

G                  Em
 I never knew me a better dog

      C         G        C/G
And I guess I never will

G           Bm
Run, Maggie run

         C                G
With the heart of a rebel child

    G           Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run

           C              G     C
Be just as free as you are wild

    G    D/F#        Em   D
Oh, run, Maggie run

         C                G       C/G
With the heart of a rebel child

    G           Em
Oh, run, Maggie run

           C               G
Be just as free as you are   wild
