Since Maggie Went Away Song Words And Guitar Chords In F
[F]No more I stroll, no[Dm] more I stroll
A[F]long the bo[C7]reen,
I[F] see the scarlet[Dm] poppies play
A[F]mid the[C7] corn[F] green.
No[C7] more beneath the[F] hedge I[Am] watch
The[Dm] butterflies at[C7 play,
For my[F] heart is filled with[Dm] woe, with woe
Since[C7] Maggie went[F] away.
The sweet wild rose, the sweet wild rose,
That lov'd to see us there,
And seem'd to bid us hope, now droops,
And tells me to despair;
The linnet sings his song unheard,
Perched on a leafy spray;
Ah, my heart is filled with woe, with woe,
Since Maggie went away.
The gentle flowers, the gentle flowers,
Their happy charm is fled,
And how they seem like blossoms strewn,
Above the silent dead,
They're symbols now of sorrow deep
And life's swift, sure decay;
Ah, my heart is filled with woe, with woe,
Since Maggie went away.
The heartless sun, the heatless sun.
With splendor gilds the skies.
And mocks with smiling beams a heart
That now can only sigh.
Shine on, bright sun, shine on, while I
Could curse thy proud display,
For, my heart is filled with woe, with woe,
Since Maggie went away.
Then welcome grief, then welcome grief
Man's warm true-hearted friend,
For tho' all things be false, thou still art
Faithful to the end.
And now I walk alone with thee,
Till life turns into clay
Ah, my heart is filled with woe, with woe,
Since Maggie went away.
