Wake [B]
[D] [Em]
[G] [D]
[Bm]
[G] [D]
[E] [A] up Maggie, [G] I think I got something [D] to say to you.
[A] It's late September and [G] I really
should be [D] back at school.
I [G] know I keep you [D] amused, but [G] I feel I'm [A] being used.
[Em] Oh Maggie,
I couldn't [Gbm] help trying [Em] anymore.
[A]
[Em] You led me away [A] from home [Bm] just to save you from being
alone.
[Em] So my soul, [A] I love you.
[D]
Morning sun [G] when it's in your face [D] really shows your age.
[A] But that don't worry [G] me none, in my eyes you're [D] everything, yes you are.
[G] I laughed at all
your [D] jokes.
[G] My love you didn't need [A] to coax.
[Em] Oh Maggie, I couldn't [Gbm] help trying [Em] anymore.
[A] You can [Em] be the first class fool [A] out of me, but [Em] I'm as blind as a fool [A] can be.
[Em] You stole
my heart [A] and that's what really [D] hurts.
[Em] I suppose [A]
[D] [G]
[Em] [Bm]
[D]
[A] I [G] could collect my books and [D] come back to
school.
Oh yeah, [A] steal my [G] daddy's cute, make a living [D] out of playing fools.
[G] Or find myself a
rock and [D] roll band [G] that needs my help [A] in the hand.
[Em] Oh Maggie, I wish [Gbm] I'd never seen [Em] your face.
You [A] know, you [Bm] made a first class fool [A] out of me, but [Em] [A] fools can be.
[Em] You stole my soul,
[A] that's a pain I can do [D] without.
Oh yeah.
[Bm] [A]
[D] [G]
[Em]
[D]
And eventually,
[E]
[G] [D]
Maggie, I [Em] wish [G] I'd never seen your
[D]
face.
Maggie, I wish [Em] I'd never, [G] ever, ever [D] seen your face.
[Em]
[Gbm] [G]
[D]
[B] Nice band.
Nice song.
Some spirit that is, gentlemen.
Ron Woods.
Hi everyone.
[G] Uh, Ripple Book Commercial, we'll be back here [B] to visit with Mr.
Stewart right after this.
[E]
[Abm] [Gb]
[Ab] [Db]
[B] Ron Stewart, ladies and gentlemen.
And Ron Woods.
Everybody, you guys have been great.
Nice to have [B] you here, thank you very much.
I'm going to [Bb] be interviewed now.
You don't want to be interviewed?
What would you like to do?
No sex.
You know who was here?
Your wife was here a couple of months ago.
I know.
Oh, she's a lovely woman.
You tried to
date her once, do you remember?
Oh no.
Yes you did, [B] on an airplane going from New York to Los
Angeles.
Geez, we're out of time.
Good night everybody.
[Bm] Absolutely true.
Uh.
She turned him
down.
Well, [E]
she's [B] lovely, she's not nuts.
[Bb] Tell us.
The jackets will do it, you know.
That's what
you're going to do.
Wear my jacket and I'll wear yours.
Tell me about, uh, a long time ago,
is there any truth to this?
When you and, uh, maybe Ron was involved in this, [Bb] Holiday Inn,
Hawaii, some kind of trouble, bounced out of the hotel.
Absolutely true.
We were a lot younger
then, weren't we, Ronnie?
The John Constable picture was in bold, I think, at the time.
That's right, yeah.
Yeah, we were.
What did he say?
We were, oh, come on.
[B] Come down and tell us, Ron.
I didn't hear what you're
talking about.
No, I'm still plugged in and not [Bb] seated.
We used to get thrown out of the hotel.
Well, I'll settle the age.
What were, what was the circumstance?
I think it was a disastrous room service, wasn't it, Ronnie?
Always, why we used to smash up hotels.
We don't do it anymore, of course.
Do we?
And it was nothing
to do with Jeff Wald either.
Helen Renny's manager and husband at the time.
Yeah, long time ago.
That's quite a story.
[B]
[B] [Gm]
[Bb] I'll tell you what happened.
What we did, we actually sabotaged his room.
Yeah.
We put towels down the
toilet, didn't we?
Took all the light bulbs out, uh, unfixed the bed so when he sat on it, it would
collapse.
I just didn't think we had time for these types of stories.
I tell you what, there's another song.
Oh, yeah, we're gonna go back there.
We have another song.
[Bb] Is this it?
