Maggie - Traditional
Intro [C] [G] [C]
I [C] wandered today to the [F] hills Maggie
To [C] watch the scene [G] below
The [C] creek and the creaking old [F] mill Maggie
As [C] we used to [G] long, long [C] ago,
The [F] green grove is gone from the [C] hills Maggie
Where [G] first the daisies [G7] sprung
The [C] creaking old mill is [F] still Maggie
Since [C] you and [G] I were [C] young.
Instrumental Verse (tin whistle or flute)
Oh they [C] say that I am feeble with [F] age Maggie,
My [C] steps are much slower than [G] then,
My [C] face is a well written [F] page Maggie,
And [C] time all [G] alone was the [C] pen.
They [F] say we have outlived our [C] time Maggie
As [G] dated as songs that we've [G7] sung,
But to [C] me your as fair as you [F] were Maggie,
When [C] you and [G] I were [C] young
Slower
When [C] you and [G] I were [C] young [G] [C]
