NOTES:
The chords in the INTRO are also the basis for the VERSEs. CH plays these
with some hammers-on, so have a listen to how he plays it. For the G -> D
transition, hammer on the B-note (5th str) before playing the D chord.

Capo on 1 if you want to play along with the record.
Chord names are relative to capo. Timing is 4/4.

Em        D                 Em  C  C/B  Am
   When I first set eyes on you
          Em          G                   D
First you beat me up, then you kissed me, too

Em            D               Em  C  C/B  Am
   We'd throw stones into the sea
              Em            G              D
There were no others there,   just you and me

Em               D                   Em   C  C/B  Am
   I crossed the bridge and down the lane
         Em                  G                D
I knew I loved you then, you said you did the same

  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


VERSE2:
Notes:
Play as for VERSE1.

You taught me how to sink or swim
When I was scared that day, you just pushed me in
And when nobody was around
You let me kiss you then, there the love I found
I said I'd never let you go
You just smiled at me, how was I to know?


CHORUS2:
Notes:
Play as for CHORUS1.

Oh Maggie, what am I to do?
How can I live with only memories of you?
Oh Maggie, tell me the truth
When your ship was sinking, did you think it through?

I miss you


VERSE3:
Notes:
Play as for VERSE1.

You were the fountain of my youth
And when I fumbled, you showed me what to do
And when we were both seventeen
You left me standin' there, but you were never mean
And when I saw you out with him
He looked much older and you looked very thin


VERSE4:
Notes:
Play as for VERSE1.

I hadn't heard from you in years
And then your mama called, she couldn't speak for tears
She said you left me a note
Inside my pocket burns with these words you wrote:


CHORUS3:
Notes:
Play as for CHORUS1.

Hey darling boy, don't you cry for me
I am forever yours, now that I am free
We'll be together, throw stones into the sea
There'll be no others there, just you and me

I miss you

C  G     D
Maggie's gone


[play VERSE chords and CHORUS chords through once]


VERSE5:
Notes:
Play as for VERSE1.

I think you came the other night
You stroked my brow, your eyes were full of light
It may have only been a dream
But I would walk with you to places I never have been

C  G     D
Maggie's gone
