MAGGIE'S FARM (Bob Dylan)
Em
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
no, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
Well I wake in the morning fold my hands and pray for rain
I got a head full of ideas that are drivin' me insane
B
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
Em D Em D Em D Em
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
Em
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
no I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
Well he hands you nickel he hands you a dime
He asks with a grin if you're havin' a good time
B
then he fines you every time you slam the door
Em D Em D Em D Em
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
Em
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
Well he puts his cigar out in your face just for kicks
His bedroom window it is made out of bricks
B
the National Guard stands around his door
Em D Em D Em D Em
Ah! I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
Em
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
Well she talks to all the servants about man and God and law
Everybody says she's the brains behind pa
B
She's sixty-eight but she says she's twenty-four
Em D Em D Em D Em
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
Em
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
Well, I try my best to be just like I am
But everybody wants you to be just like them
B
they sing while you slave and I just get bored
Em D Em D Em D Em
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
