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

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

[Verse 3]
      C                    B                          
"Oh I know that you are an outlaw" she said, “and you 
Em              C            G   B
robbed both the rich and the poor.
        C                  B                  Em       
Now you seek my bed like a sanctuary, but you keep one 
C          G   B
eye on the door
         C                   Am                     G  
And you press my hand in the dead of the night, and say
                     D
 I can heal all your wounds
       Am                          C                   
In the morning your eyes just look hunted again, you'll
    Bsus4        B
 be leaving soon"
        Em                  G                   D      
And the silver, rays of the moon divide In the slanting
               C
 mists of the rain.
    G     B                 Em
And Maggie, is on the prowl again

[Verse 4]
      C                    B                          
"Oh I know that you are an artist" she said, “for you 
Em        C             G   B
make your songs out of clay.
    C                      B                        
You carry the dust on your hands and your face, you 
Em           C          G   B
never quite brushed it away
        C                         Am                   
And you work with your back to an open door, while the 
G                     D
light is beginning to fade
        Am                     C                     
And the windows are liquid the sky is alive, and the 
Bsus4         B
night is jade“
        Em                 G                   D       
And the silver rays of the moon divide In the slanting 
              C
mists of the rain
    G      B                 Em B
And Maggie, is  on the road again.

[Outro]
      Em                 G                    D       
And the silver rays of the moon divide at the feet of 
                 C
the wind and the rain.
    G     B                   Em
And Maggie, I'm at your door again
