Well Foster and Alan, here we are guys, how are you?
How are you Henry?
Good, lovely single that, new single for you.
And a very interesting, lovely title for it.
Yes, I'll never stop wanting you.
[G]
You're looking at me a bit funny there now, don't you think?
[D] Anyway, now lads, tell me about probably the song, certainly that I love,
and I know lots of people all over the world love,
and in a way is almost your trademark of Foster and Alan, isn't it?
[A] That's Maggie.
Well Maggie is, of course, Punchy Time was our first big single in [F#] Britain and in Ireland,
[E] but Maggie was our first song to, it's the song that broke us into the Australian charts.
Right.
[D] Where did you get it from?
It's a real old song supposedly written way before the turn of the century.
It was [E] actually recorded at one stage by John McCormack.
Was it?
And then it was,
[C] a version of it was written as Nora,
and we got [E] the real old version and just modernised it [A] a bit.
Right.
[E] Do you find when you go to concerts around the world people actually call out for Maggie?
[N] Oh yeah, everywhere we go, you know,
as Tony was saying in Australia and in Canada,
Maggie would be, you know, [G#] way, way in front of Punchy Time.
[E] I wandered today to [A] the hills, Maggie,
[E] to watch the scene [B] below,
[E] the creek and the creaking [A] old mill, Maggie,
[E] as we used [B] to long, long [E] ago.
[Bm] [E]
[A] The green grove has come from [E] the hills, Maggie,
[B] where first [F#] the
[B] daisies sprung,
[E] the creaking old mill [A] is still, Maggie,
[E] since you and [B]
I were [E] young.
Oh, they say that [C#m] I'm [E] feeble [A] with age, Maggie,
my [E] steps are much slower than [B] then,
[E] my face is a well [G#] -written
[A]
page, Maggie,
and [E] time all [B] alone was [E] the pen.
[F#] They [A] say we have outlived our [E] time, Maggie,
as [B] dated [F#] a song that [B] we've sung,
but [E] to me you're as fair as [A] you were, Maggie,
when [E] you and [B]
I [E] were young.
