[Verse 1] 
[A] Wake up Maggie I  [G] think I've got something to  [D] say to you
It's  [A] late September and I  [G] really should be  [D] back at school
I  [G] know I keep you a [D] mused But I  [G] feel I'm being  [A] used
Oh  [Em] Maggie I couldn't have  [F#m] tried any  [Em] more    [Dsus2/F#]         
You  [Em] led me away from  [A] home just to  [Em] save you from being a [A] lone
You  [Em] stole my heart, and  [A] that's what really  [D] hurts
 
[Verse 2] 
The  [A] morning sun when it's  [G] in your face really  [D] shows your age
But  [A] that don't worry me  [G] none, in my eyes you're  [D] everything
I  [G] laughed at all your  [D] jokes, my  [G] love you didn't need to  [A] coax
Oh  [Em] Maggie I couldn't have  [F#m] tried any  [Em] more  [Dsus2/F#]           
(optional to add at end of previous line - DM9/F# 200220 A7sus2/E 002000)
You led  [Em] me away from  [A] home just to  [Em] save you from being  [A] alone
You  [Em] stole my soul that's a  [A] pain I can  [G] do with [D] out
 
[Verse 3] 
[A] All I needed was a  [G] friend to lend a  [D] guiding hand
But you  [A] turned into a lover and  [G] mother what a lover you  [D] wore me out
[G] All you did was wreck my  [D] bed And in the  [G] morning kick me in the  [A] head
Oh  [Em] Maggie I couldn't have  [F#m] tried any  [Em] more  [Dsus2/F#]         
You  [Em] led me away from  [A] home 'cause you  [Em] didn't want to be a [A] lone
You  [Em] stole my heart I couldn't  [A] leave you  [G] if I  [D] tried

[Verse 4] 
[A] I suppose I could  [G] collect my books and get on  [D] back to school
Or  [A] steal my daddy's  [G] cue and make a living out of  [D] playing pool
Or  [G] find myself a rock and roll  [D] band that  [G] needs a helping  [A] hand
Oh  [Em] Maggie, I wish I'd  [F#m] never seen your  [Em] face  [Dsus2/F#]         
You made a  [Em] first class fool out of  [A] me, but I'm as  [Em] blind as a fool can  [A] be
You  [Em] stole my heart but I  [A] love you  [G] any [D] way

[Verse 1]
Do you remember
The 21st night of September?
Love was changin' the minds of pretenders
While chasin' the clouds away
Our hearts were ringin'
In the key that our souls were singin'
As we danced in the night, remember
How the stars stole the night away, oh, yeah
Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya, dancin' in September
Ba-dee-ya, never was a cloudy day
Ba-du-da, ba-du-da, ba-du-da, ba-du
Ba-du-da, ba-du, ba-du-da, ba-du
Ba-du-da, ba-du, ba-du-da

[Verse 2]
My thoughts are with you
Holdin' hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love, remember
How we knew love was here to stay
Now December
Found the love that we shared in September
Only blue talk and love, remember
The true love we share today
Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya, dancin' in September
Ba-dee-ya, never was a cloudy day
There was a
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), dancin' in September
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), golden dreams were shiny days

[Verse 3]
The bell was ringin', oh, oh
Our souls were singin'
Do you remember never a cloudy day? Yow

[Chorus]
There was a
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), dancin' in September
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), never was a cloudy day
And we'll say
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), dancin' in September
Ba-dee-ya (dee ya, dee-ya), golden dreams were shiny days
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya!
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya!
