[Intro 1]
[C][B][Em][B][C][B]
[Em]

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

[Verse 2]
"Oh I [C]know that you were a sail
[B]or" she said
"'Til you [Em]came too [C]close [G]to the shore
[B]And [C]like any shipwrecked sailor [B]now
You [Em]live by [C]an open [G]door
And when [C]evening sails
[Am]in the masts of the trees
Your [G]feet seem to slip on [D]the ground
And you [Am]long for the little [C]ship
In which you can [B]safely [Bsus4]drown"[B]
And the [Em]silver mounds [G]of the waves divide
At [D]the feet of the wind and the [C]rain
And [G]Maggie [B]is far at sea again

[Verse 3]
[Em]"0h [Am]I kno[C]w that you were an
[B]outlaw" she said
"And you [Em]robbed both
the [C]rich [G]and the poor
Now you [C]seek my bed like
a sanc[B]tuary
But you [Em]keep one [C]eye on [G]the door
And you [C]press my hand in
[Am]the dead of the night
And [G]say I can heal all your [D]wounds
In the [Am]morning your eyes just
look hunted [C]again
You'll be [Bsus4]leaving s[B]oon"
And the [Em]silver, rays of [G]the moon divide
In [D]the slanting mists of the [C]rain
And [G]Maggie [B]is on the prowl again
[Em]

[Verse 4]
"So I [C]know that you are an
[B]artist" she said
"And you [Em]make your song
[C]s out of c[G]lay[B]
For you [C]carry the dust
[B]on your hands and your face
You [Em]never quite [C]brushed [G]it away
And you [C]work with your back
to an [Am]open door
While [G]the light is beginning to [D]fade
And the [Am]windows are liquid
the sky [C]is alive
And the [Bsus4]night is jade"And the
[B]sil[Em]ver rays of [G]the moon divide
In [D]the slanting mists of the [C]rain
And [G]Maggie [B]is on the road
[Em]again[G][A]
And the [Em]silver rays [G]of the moon divide
At [D]the feet of the wind and [C]the rain
And [G]Maggie, [B]I'm at your door again
