( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/rod_stewart/maggie_may_tab.html )
I suppos[A]e I should [G]collect my books and get [D]back to school
Or st[A]eal my daddy's [G]cue make a living out of [D]playing pool
Or f[G]ind myself a rock and roll [D]band that [G]needs a helping [A]hand
Oh Ma[Em]ggie, I wish I'd [F#m]never seen your [Em]face[A]
You made a first cl[Em]ass fool out of [A]me, but I'm as [Em]blind as a fool can [A]be
You sto[Em]le my heart but I [A]love you any[D]way
