{c: verse 1}
I [A]wandered today [A7]to the [D]hill, Maggie
to [A]watch the scene be[E7]low
The [A]creek and the old [A7]rusty [D]mill, Maggie
Where we [A]sat in the [E7] long long a[A]go

The [D]green grove is gone from the [A]hill, Maggie
Where [E]first the [B7]daisies had [E7]sprung
The [A]old rusty mill [A7]is now [D]still, [F#dim7]Maggie
Since [A]you and [E7]I were [A]young

{c: chorus}
[A7]and [D]now we are aged and [A]gray, Maggie
The [E]trials of [B7]life nearly [E7]done
Let’s [A]sing of the days [A7]that are [D]gone, Maggie
When [A]you and [E7]I were [A]young

{c: verse 2}
A [A]city so si[A7]lent and [D]lone, Maggie
Where [A]young and gay and [E7]best
In [A]polished white man[A7]sions of [D]stone, Maggie
Where they [A]each found a [E7]place for their [A]rest

Is [D]built where the birds used to [A]play, Maggie
And [E]join in [B7]songs that were [E7]young
We [A]sang just as gay [A7]as did [D]they, [F#dim7]Maggie
When [A]you and [E7]I were [A]young

{c: verse 3}
They [A]say I am fee[A7]ble with [D]age, Maggie
My [A]steps less sprightly than [E7]then
My [A]Face is a well-[A7]written [D]page, Maggie
Then but [A]time, time a[E7]lone was the [A]pen

They [D]say we are aged and [A]gray, Maggie
As [E]spray by white [B7]breakers [E7]flung
To [A]me you’re as fair [A7]as you [D]were, [F#dim7]Maggie
When [A]you and [E7]I were [A]young
