I wander'd today        to the hill     Maggie
E                  B  Bsus B Bsus  B
To watch the scene below 
E  E/D#       C#m C#m/B     A  A/G#  F#m
The creek and the rusty old mill    Maggie 
E                        B          E  Esus E Esus E
Where we wandered in the long, long ago. 
A   A/G#  F#m                    E
The green grass is gone from the hill  Maggie, 
F#                            B Bsus  B Bsus  B
Where  once the wild  daisies sprung 
E    E/D#     C#m   C#m/B   A  A/G# F#m,
The rusty old mill  now is still    Maggie 
E             B      E  
Since you and I were young
E    E/D#     C#m       C#m/B   A      A/G#     F#m 
They say they say  they say I'm feeble with age Maggie
E                                 B Bsus B Bsus B
And my step not as sprititly   as them
E  E/D#  C#m             C#m/B A       A/G#  F#m
My       face is a well a well written page Maggie
E        B             E    A   A/G#  
And time alone was the pen
F#m                      E
They say we are aged and gray, Maggie, 
F#                          B Bsus B Bsus B
Aa  spray the wild breakers flung  
E  E/D#    C#m       C#m/B   A   A/G#   F#m
To me      you're as fair as you were   Maggie 
E            B      A A/G# F#m  E     
When you and I were young
