[Verse 1]
F F** Bb**
Oh, Maggie, Maggie, Maggie she's the prettiest girl in town,
F F** Dm
all the boys try to court her but she always turns them down.

with her head up in the rafters and her feet pounding on the boards.
[Chorus]
Dm C** Bb
Oh, Maggie, she's a wildflower everybody knows,

you can't tell her where to [Interlude] grow.

Oh, Maggie, Maggie, Maggie slips out late at night,
F F** Dm
goes waltzing by the river with the stars in her eyes.

F F** Bb
oh, Maggie mine in a white lace dress where the wild river sings.

Oh, Maggie, Maggie, Maggie sitting in the tallest tree,
F F** Dm
smoking on a cigarette, yeah, she has no time for me.

she's further than the forest when I'm standing in the field
F F** Bb
and all the prairie ghosts are crying because they know just how I feel.

Oh, Maggie, she's a wildflower everybody knows,

you can't pick her, you can't plant her,
