A A7(4)
I'll never be your Maggie May
A A7(4) F#m7
The one you loved and left behind
E
The face you see in light of day
D2
Then you cast away
A A7(4) A
That isn't me in that bed you'll find
A A7(4)
I'd rather take myself away
A A7(4) F#m7
Be like those ladies in Japan
E
Rather paint myself a face
D2
Conjure up some grace
A A7(4) A
Or be the eyes behind a fan
E Dadd(11)
And so you go
E Dadd(11)
No girl could say no to you
A A7(4)
Oh, there's the way I may appear
A A7(4) F#m7
But that will change from day to night
E
Would you ever see within?
D2
Underneath the skin?
A A7(4) A
Could I believe you had that sight?
E Dadd(11)
And so you go
E Dadd(11)
No girl could say no to you
A A7(4)
I'll never be your Maggie May
A A7(4) F#m7
The one you loved and then forgot
E
I'll love you first and let you go
D2
Because it must be so
A A7(4) A
And you'll forgive or you will not
A A7(4)
And so a woman leaves a man
A A7(4) F#m7
And so a world turns on it's end
E
So I'll see your face in dreams
D2
Where nothing's what it seems
A A7(4) A
Still you appear some kind of friend
E Dadd(11)
And so you go
E Dadd(11)
No girl could say no to you
