Chris Stapleton - Maggie's Song: chords

G                  Em
Let me tell you a story
  C                 G
About an old friend of mine
G         D/F#          Em          D
Somebody left her in a shopping cart
       C               D
In a parking lot for us to find
G                   Em
Just a fuzzy black pup
         C                   G  C
She was hungry and feeling alone
G                  Em
We put her in the back seat
     C                       G      C
And told her we were taking her home

Chorus:
 G           Bm
Run, Maggie run
          C                 G   C/G
With the heart of a rebel child
     G           Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run
             C              G   C
Be just as free as you are wild

A few kids later
We moved out on the farm
And she followed those kids around
Yeah, she kept them safe from harm
And she loved to chase squirrels
And playin' out in the snow
She'd take off like a bullet
Man, you should have seen her go

Chorus

It was rainin' on a Monday
The day that Maggie died
She woke up and couldn't use her legs
So I laid down by her side
She put her head on my hand
Like she'd done so many times
I told her she was a good dog
Then I told her goodbye

Chorus

I had a revelation
As the tractor dug a hole
I can tell you right now
That a dog has a soul
And I thought to myself
As we buried her on the hill
I never knew me a better dog
And I guess I never will
