A5                                     D    A5
Margaret came to me was all he said
 
A5                                     D    A5
before she knew my name she was in my bed
 
A5                                     D    A5
she was only sweet sixteen
 
A5                                     D    A5
20,000 days younger than me

D                              A5

D                                   A5
"Daddy said you better, or you'll die"
 
D                                     A5
she wants a house and fifteen kids I guess she does my love
 
D                                    A5
and I can't find a state we're legal in

A5                                       D    A5
Margaret feels the world beneath her feet
 
A5                                     D    A5
shaking like a leaf falls from the tree
 
A5                                     D    A5
she don't care he's ten years older than me
 
A5                                               D    A5
as long as they're together happily, who says they will
