(E minor)
Verse 1
"Oh I (C major) know
that you are an artist" (B major) she said
"For you (E minor) make your song
(C major) s out of clay (G major) (B major)
You (C major) carry the dust on your
(B major) hands and your face
You (E minor) never quite (C major) brushed it away (G major)
You were (C major) trying to chisel a (A minor) perfect truth
When (G major) the instrument broke
in your hand (D major)
Now you (A minor) sit all alone on the
(C major) greenhouse roof
With your (B major) shoes full (Bsus4) of sand"
(B major) (Bsus4) (B major)
And the (E minor) golden rays of the sun (G major) divide
In the (D major) slanting mists of the rain (C major)
And (G major) Maggie (B major) is on the road again
(E minor)

Verse 2
"Oh I (C major) know that you were a sail
(B major) or" she said
"'Til you (E minor) came too (C major) close to the shore (G major)
(B major) And like (C major) any shipwrecked sailor (B major) now
You (E minor) live by (C major) an open door (G major)
And when (C major) evening sails
(A minor) in the masts of the trees
Your (G major) feet seem to slip on (D major) the ground
And you (A minor) long for the little ship (C major)
In which you can safely (B major) drown" (Bsus4) (B major)
And the (E minor) silver mounds of the waves (G major) divide
At the feet (D major) of the wind and the rain (C major)
And (G major) Maggie (B major) is far at sea again
Verse 3
(E minor) "0h (A minor) (C major) I know that you were an
(B major) outlaw" she said
"And you (E minor) robbed both
the (C major) rich and the poor (G major)
Now you (C major) seek my bed like
a sanc (B major) tuary
But you (E minor) keep one eye (C major) on the door (G major)
And you (C major) press my hand in
(A minor) the dead of the night
And say (G major) I can heal all your (D major) wounds
In the (A minor) morning your eyes just
look hunted (C major) again
You'll be (Bsus4) leaving soon" (B major)
And the (E minor) silver, rays of (G major) the moon divide
In the slanting (D major) mists of the (C major) rain
And (G major) Maggie (B major) is on the prowl again
(E minor)
Verse 4
"So I (C major) know that you are an
(B major) artist" she said
"And you (E minor) make your song
(C major) s out of clay (G major) (B major)
For you (C major) carry the dust
on your hands (B major) and your face
You (E minor) never quite (C major) brushed it away (G major)
And you (C major) work with your back
to an (A minor) open door
While the light (G major) is beginning to fade (D major)
And the (A minor) windows are liquid
the sky (C major) is alive
And the (Bsus4) night is jade"And the
(B major) (E minor) silver rays of the moon (G major) divide
In the slanting (D major) mists of the (C major) rain
And (G major) Maggie (B major) is on the road
again (E minor) (G major) (A major)
And the (E minor) silver rays of the moon (G major) divide
At (D major) the feet of the wind and the rain (C major)
And (G major) Maggie, (B major) I'm at your door again
