Reba McEntire – Maggie Creek Road (Guitar)

     C                                          Em
Mama stood on the front porch ringing her hands

            C                                        Em
Watched the tail lights fading on his black Trans Am

         C                                      Em
With her precious little baby taking off inside

C                                     Em
Staring at him with stars in her eyes

             C                                                   Em
She tried to tell her, but the girl might as well have been deaf

    C                                       Em
She wasn't gonna listen to a word she said

              G            Am   Em
Don't go down Maggie Creek Road 

           C            D    Em
With a boy looking like that 

                              G     Am   Em
He'll tell ya things that you wanna hear

                   C       D    Em
And there'll be no turning back

                    G           Am   Em
There's an oak tree down by the lake 

                       C    D            Em
In the shade where the wild flowers grow 

                    G      Am
What'll happen only heaven knows

   C        B7                Em
So don't go down Maggie Creek Road

      C                                 Em
Was a still black night as dark as coal

  C                                 Em
Nobody heard her when she said 'No'

    C                                        Em
She kicked and screamed and got free somehow

         C                                        Em
Tore her dress on the door when he pushed her out

           C                                 Em
She walked thirteen miles on the gravel road

     C                                   Em
With tears in her eyes, twenty years ago

              G            Am   Em
Don't go down Maggie Creek Road 

           C            D    Em
With a boy looking like that 

                              G     Am   Em
He'll tell ya things that you wanna hear

                   C       D    Em
And there'll be no turning back

                    G           Am   Em
There's an oak tree down by the lake 

                       C    D            Em
In the shade where the wild flowers grow 

                    G      Am
What'll happen only heaven knows

   C        B7                Em
So don't go down Maggie Creek Road

C                          Em
Somehow mamas always know 

            C                                 Em
'Cause they should have been home an hour ago

     C                                     Em
When she pulled up, it was just going down 

               C                                   Em
She turned her headlights off, didn't make a sound 

              C                                      Em
She heard her baby crying 'No', but he wouldn't stop 

    C                                     Em
Her heart went cold and her blood ran hot 

       C                                       Em
With a pistol in her hand, she opened his door

          C                         Em
You don't wanna see mama go to war

              G            Am   Em
Don't go down Maggie Creek Road 

           C            D    Em
With a boy looking like that 

                              G     Am   Em
He'll tell ya things that you wanna hear

                   C       D    Em
And there'll be no turning back

                    G           Am   Em
There's an oak tree down by the lake 

                       C    D            Em

                    G      Am
What'll happen only heaven knows

   C        B7           C        B7
So don't go down, I say, don't go down

             Em    Am   Em   D   Em    Am   Em
