Maggies Song

	  		
G                   Em 
  Let me tell you a story 
 C                  G         C 
About an old friend   of mine 
G          D/F#          Em            D 
  Somebody left her in a shopping cart 
     C                  D 
In a parking lot for us   to find 
G                    Em 
  Just a fuzzy black pup 
        C                  G     C 
She was hungry and feeling alone 
G                   Em 
  We put her in the back seat 
    C                       G        C 
And told her we were taking her home 
  
G           Bm 
Run, Maggie run 
         C                G     C/G 
With the heart of a rebel child 
    G           Bm 
Oh, run, Maggie run 
           C               G      C 
Be just as free as you are   wild 
  
G            Em 
  A few kids later 
   C            G          C 
We moved out on   the farm 
G         D/F#           Em          D 
  And she followed those kids around 
          C              D 
Yeah, she kept them safe   from harm 
G                        Em 
  And she loved to chase squirrels 
    C              G          C 
And playing out in   the snow 
G                       Em 
  She'd take off like a bullet 
    C                      G      C 
Man,  you should have seen her go 
  
G           Bm 
Run, Maggie run 
         C                G     C/G 
With the heart of a rebel child 
    G           Bm 
Oh, run, Maggie run 
           C               G      C 
Be just as free as you are   wild 
  
( G  Em  C  G ) 
( G  Bm  C  G  C ) 
  
G                     Em 
  It was raining on a Monday 
    C               G    C 
The day that Maggie died 
G          D/F#            Em      D 
  She woke up and couldn't use her legs 
     C            D 
So I laid down by   her side 
G                        Em 
  She put her head on my hand 
           C            G     C 
Like she'd done so many times 
G                      Em 
  I told her she was a good dog 
     C          G       C 
Then I told her goodbye 
  
G           Bm 
Run, Maggie run 
         C                G     C/G 
With the heart of a rebel child 
    G           Bm 
Oh, run, Maggie run 
           C               G 
Be just as free as you are   wild 
  
G             Em 
  I had a revelation 
       C             G    C/G 
As the tractor dug a hole 
G       D/F#           Em  D 
  I can tell you right now 
       C   D 
That a dog has a soul 
G                    Em 
  And I thought to myself 
      C             G 
As we buried her on   the hill 
G                   Em 
  I never knew me a better dog 
      C         G        C/G 
And I guess I never will 
  
G           Bm 
Run, Maggie run 
         C                G 
With the heart of a rebel child 
    G           Bm 
Oh, run, Maggie run 
           C              G     C 
Be just as free as you are wild 
  
    G    D/F#       Em  D 
Oh, run, Maggie run 
         C                G     C/G 
With the heart of a rebel child 
    G           Em 
Oh, run, Maggie run 
           C               G 
Be just as free as you are   wild
