I don't even know if her name was Maggie, but she was a
woman that was older than me that makes a change and
Was my first ever sex partner way back in the early 60s.
I was a jazz festival and
She took me in a tent took advantage of me and threw me out

You [D#m] led me away [G#] from home
[D#m] Cause you didn't wanna be [G#] alone
[D#m] You stole my heart, [G#] but I love [F#] you [C#] anyway
[G#] Morning sun [F#] when it's in your face, [C#] it shows your age
[G#] But that don't worry [F#] me none in my [C#] eyes you're everything
I [F#] laughed at all of [C#] your jokes
[F#] My love you didn't need [G#] to coax

[G#] All I needed [F#] was a friend to lend [C#] a guiding hand
[G#] You turned into a lover [F#] and mother what a lover [C#] you wore me out
[F#] All you did was wreck [C#] my bed.
I [F#] didn't mind it kicked me [G#] in the head

[G#] Or steal my [F#] daddy's cute nigga [C#] living out a playa
[F#] Find myself a rock [C#] and roll band
[F#] That needs a [G#] helping hand
[D#m] Oh Maggie, I wish [Fm] I'd never [D#m] seen your [G#] face
You [D#m] made a [C#] first-class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be
