Intro: D  G  D  A  


verse 1 

    D                               G 
Now gather round me sailor boys and listen to me plea,  
D                                  A 
And when you hear me tale you’ll pity me 
          D                   G 
For I was a goddamned fool in the port of Liverpool  
D                   A                D               
The first time that I came home from sea  
  G                                          D 
I was paid off at the Home, from a voyage to Sierra Leone: 
                            A 
Two pounds ten and sixpence was me pay. 
          D                     G  
With a pocket full of tin I was soon taken in 
     A                            D 
By a girl with the name of Maggie May 

tabchorus
G D Oh, Maggie Maggie May they have taken her away A And she'll never walk down Lime Street any more. D G She robbed so many sailors and captains of the whalers D A D That dirty robbing no good Maggie May

verse 2 G D Oh well do I remember when I first met Maggie May, A She was cruising up and down Old Canning Place, D G She'd a figure so divine, like a frigate of the line, A D And me being a sailor I gave chase. G D Next morning I awoke, I was flat and stoney broke, A No jacket, trousers, waistcoat could I find. D G When I asked her where they were, she said "Oh my dear sir, A D They're down in Kelly's, locker number nine!"
tabchorus
G D Oh, Maggie Maggie May they have taken her away A And she'll never walk down Lime Street any more. D G She robbed so many sailors and captains of the whalers D A D That dirty robbing no good Maggie May

Optional Instrumental Chorus verse 3 G D To the pawnshop I did go but no clothes there did I find, A And the policeman came and took that girl away, D G The judge he guilty found her of robbing a homeward bounder, A D And paid her passage back to Botany Bay
tabchorus
G D Oh, Maggie Maggie May they have taken her away A And she'll never walk down Lime Street any more. D G She robbed so many sailors and captains of the whalers D A D That dirty robbing no good Maggie May
