G Em
Let me tell you a story

About an old friend of mine

Somebody left her in a shopping cart

In a parking lot for us to find

We put her in the back seat

And told her we were taking her home

Chorus:
G Bm
Run, Maggie run
C G C
With the heart of a rebel child
G Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run
C G
Be just as free as you are wild
Verse 2:
G Em
A few kids later
C G C
We moved out on the farm
G D/F# Em
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 D/F# Em
She'd take off like a bullet
C G C
Man, you should have seen her go

Run, Maggie run

With the heart of a rebel child

Oh, run, Maggie run

Verse 3:
G Em
It was raining on a Monday
C G
The day that Maggie died
G D/F# Em
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
Like she'd done so many times
G D/F# Em
I told her she was a good dog
C G
Then I told her goodbye
Chorus:
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
Verse 4:
G Em
I had a revelation
C G
As the tractor dug a hole
G D/F# Em
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 D/F# Em
I never knew me a better dog
C G
And I guess I never will
Chorus:
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 Bm
Oh, run, Maggie run
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
