LYRICS:
play intro

Oh my Ma – ri – a[D#+]
Seems you got me in your spell once mo[D#+]re
Must be there’s a storm on the wa[D#+]y
You taught me to know when you’re near
Mmmm…

In your glance recall my shady days of youth
Stealing altar wine and microphones
Not so blindly fueling my need
As rock and roll fueled my dreams
You know rock and roll fueled my [D#+]dreams yeah

BRIDGE 1
E E#º F#m
Back then you saw me as this child in great need of the wildest sin
How sweet your grace I [D#+]stumbled in
E E#º
And how completely you waved as I laughed in your face
Oh my Maria[D#+]
Oh my Maria[D#+]

play MARIA figure

Oh my Maria
how you stood for strength and sanity
Now there is someone poking holes in thee
I see now why you’ve called me near
Maria my song can you he[D#+]ar

BRIDGE 2
I know you see the silence on the sidewalk and the anger in the street
And the [D#+]voices of all these children coming up to my feet
E E#º F#m
And we sing your song in vain as some preacher sees his reign come down
Maria[D#+]
Oh my sweet Maria[D#+]
E E#º
In the silence on the hill you know I’ll be dreamin’ of you still
Now the one Maria[D#+]
Oh my Maria[D#+]

play MARIA figure
Maria
