When I first set eyes on you

First you beat me up, then you kissed me too
Em D Em C C/B Am
We'd throw stone into the sea
Em G D
There were no others there, just you and me
Em D Em C C/B Am
I crossed the bridge and down the lane
Em G D
I knew I loved you then, you said you did the same
Chorus:
C G C G
Oh Maggie, what have you done?

I miss you
And then carry on with the following verses and chorus' the same.
I think this matches the album version, but props to Sam Wilson
who did the other one, I was trying it without a capo, a lot easier
with one. Comments welcome.
*Cheers to the folk who corrected me on the chorus
