Chase the Rising Sun
[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Run, Maggie, run
Run, Maggie, run
Wander through the meadows
And chase the risin' sun
Chase the rising sun
We'll chase the rising sun
Wander through the meadows
And chase the risin' sun
[Verse 2]
I set out this mornin'
Beside the garden spring
My heart, it was so troubled, Lord
I began to sing
I began to sing
I began to sing
My heart, it was so troubled, Lord
That I began to sing
[Verse 3]
Once I had a song
And I played it all the time
Once I had a girl
She was trouble on my mind
Trouble on my mind
Trouble on my mind
Once I had a girl
She was trouble on my mind
[Verse 4]
Went to see my Maggie
And I asked her for her hand
She went runnin' down the hill
Said, "Catch me if you can"
She said, "Catch me if you can"
Run, Maggie, run
Run, Maggie, run
Wander through the meadows
And chase the risin' sun
[Banjo Solo]
[Verse 5]
And it's run, Maggie, run
Run, Maggie, run
Wander through the meadows
And chase the risin' sun
Chase the risin' sun
And it's run, Maggie, run
Run, Maggie, run
Wander through the meadows
And chase the risin' sun
Chase the risin' sun
Chase the risin' sun
[Outro]
Chase the risin' sun
