Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) I've (E major) been requested
to sing an old (D major) -time song.
Ah, you're just the man to do it,
Pappy.
Don't get flipped.
There's three very clever lads
waiting at home to replace you.
(B minor) Something our (E major) granddaddies
used (D major) to sing.
Granddaddies?
Why, you told me you (C major) started it.
(D major) Sh h, Luella might be listening.
But (E minor) I've a little plan,
and I'll do the best I can
To (E major) sing an old song so we
all can un (D major) derstand (A major)
(B major) (A major) You simply (D major) take a favorite, (A major)
(D major) then you flavor it
With (G major) just a note or two of
new harmony
Tell (D major) the orchestra to play staccato
(B major) An (E major) d (C major) then you jazz a little (B major) obbligato
(D major) Now that Maggie tune is a raggy tune
(G major) Pay no attention to the
music that they play
But just (A major) rock (D major) your (A major) blues
The (D major) red on (A major) the spot start to sway,
getting (E major) hot now
Hear (G major) the broken tie, it just broke in time
(D major) All around I see harmony charming me
(A major) Every loving note is (D major) (E major) a loving blow
Just (C sharp minor) full of music that you (A major) can't refuse
But I (D major) love to sing, I love old (G major) times,
(E major)
When you (D major) and (A major) I were young, when (D major) we were young. (G major) (F sharp major) (B major) (F sharp major) (B major) (E major)
(Fdim) (F sharp major) (B major) (Cdim)
(F sharp major) (C sharp minor) (F sharp major) (B major)
(E major) (Fdim) (Ddim) (Fdim) (B major) (F sharp major)
(B major) (A major)
(D major) You simply take a favorite
(A major) An (D major) d then you flavor it
(G major) With just a note or two of blue harmony
I like (B minor) this
(D major) Tell the orchestra to play staccato
An (E minor) d (C major) then you jazz a little obbligato
(B major) But (D major) now that Maggie
(A major) Toon (D major) is a raggy tune,
(G major) Pay no attention to the
music that you play,
(A major) But just ride (D major) your (A major) blues away. (D major)
(A major) On the spot, start to sway,
get a lot in zone.
(G major) green grove is gone from (D major) the hill,
Maggie,
Where (A major) once the dais (E major) ies sprung. (A major) (D major)
And when (G major) you listen, (E major) Maggie, (A major)
I (D major) got those aggravat (E flatdim) in',
(E minor) agit (A major) atin' (B major) (D major) blues I'm (B major) hatin'
(A major) So I'm statin', I'm (D major) only (B major) waitin',
wait (A major) in' to lose
Those (D major) ever -lovin', (A major)
ever (D major) -lovin' (A major) (D major) Maggie (A major) Blue
Outro 1
(D major) (G major) (B flat major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
