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

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

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?

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

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 

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 

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 

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
