[Intro]
D
[Chorus]
D G E7 A7 D Colonel Maggie is my friend she got my self respect right back for me G E7 A7 D Colonel Maggie is my friend with good old motherly sweet sympathy
[Verse 1]
D G D Flat down on the street with a bottle at my feet G D A7 Gutter life and wine was all I craved D G D Then she came up to me from the Salvation Army G D A7 She thought that I was good enough to save
[Chorus]
D G E7 A7 D Colonel Maggie is my friend she tried to put some pride back into me G E7 A7 D Colonel Maggie is my friend with good old motherly sweet sympathy
[Verse 2]
D G D She helped me to my feet and she got me off the street G D A7 I was far too sick to look ashamed D G D Some soup and hot tea and a blanket over me G D A7 And when we talked she called me by my name
[Chorus]
D G E7 A7 D Colonel Maggie is my friend she tried to put some pride back into me G E7 A7 D Colonel Maggie is my friend with good old motherly sweet sympathy
[Verse 3]
D G D Well that was years ago now I don't drink no more G D A7 And rest her soul old Maggies dead and gone D G D And when my will-powers weak I walk back to that street G D A7 And Colonel Maggie seems to walk along
[Out-Chorus]
D G E7 A7 D Colonel Maggie is my friend she tried to put some pride back into me G E7 A7 D Colonel Maggie is my friend with good old motherly sweet sympathy G E7 A7 D Colonel Maggie is my friend she tried to put some pride back into me G E7 A7 D Colonel Maggie is my friend with good old motherly sweet sympathy
