"Mahgeetah" is a mondegreen for "my guitar." (If you're uncertain what a "mondegreen" is, just Google it.)
The song seems to basically be about a guy in a romantic setting with his lady, but all he can think about is his guitar.
The chorus goes:
"Can he see me? Does he feel me?
Does he know me at all?"
"Does it shiver?
Always deliver?
Does it know me at all?"
The first three lines are spoken from the perspective of the girlfriend, wondering if the guy loves her. The last three lines are spoken from the perspective of the guy, wondering about his guitar. Their minds are on two totally separate things. It's such a guy song, I love it.
Anyway, after these six lines, Jim James (the lead singer) sings "aaaaaaaaaaaaah, mahgeetah, mahgeetah"
"Mahgeeta" is a mondegreen for "my guitar." He has said that he did it for no other reason than rock singers just sort of slur their words sometimes in service of the rock.
