 Let me tell you a story 
 C                  G         C 
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
[Refrain]
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

G           Em 
 A few kids later 
   C            G           C 
We moved out on   the farm 
G        D/F#           Em            D 
 And she followed those kids around 
           C              D 
 Yeah, she kept them safe   from harm 
G                       Em 
 And she loved to chase squirrels 
    C              G            C 
And playing out in   the snow 
G                      Em 
 She'd take off like a bullet 
    C                      G       C 
Man,  you should have seen her go
[Refrain]
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

 It was raining on a Monday 
    C               G      C 
The day that Maggie died 
G         D/F#            Em      D 
 She woke up and couldn't use her legs 
     C            D 
So I laid down by   her side 
G                       Em 
 She put her head on my hand 
           C            G       C 
Like she'd done so many times 
G                     Em 
 I told her she was a good dog 
     C          G         C 
Then I told her goodbye
[Refrain]
G           Bm 
Run, Maggie run 
         C                G      C/G 
With the heart of a rebel child 
    G           Bm 
Oh, run, Maggie run 
           C               G 
Be just as free as you are   wild
[Strophe]
G            Em 
 I had a revelation 
       C             G    C/G 
As the tractor dug a hole 
G      D/F#           Em   D 
 I can tell you right now 
        C   D 
 That a dog has a soul 
G                   Em 
 And I thought to myself 
      C             G 
As we buried her on   the hill 
G                  Em 
 I never knew me a better dog 
      C         G        C/G 
And I guess I never will
[Refrain]
G           Bm 
Run, Maggie run 
         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  
    G    D/F#        Em   D 
Oh, run, Maggie run 
         C                G       C/G 
With the heart of a rebel child 
    G           Em 
Oh, run, Maggie run 
           C               G 
Be just as free as you are   wild
