E B A A
My maria
E B A A
don't you know, I've come a long long way
E B A A
I've been longing to see her,
E B A A
when shes around she takes my blues away
E B A A
sweet maria
E B A A
sunlight surely hurts my eyes
E B A A
I'm a lonely dreamer
E B A A
lonely highway in the skies

[Verse 2]
E B A A
my maria
E B A A
there were some blue and sorrowed times
E B A A
just my thoughts about you
E B A A
bring back my peace of mind
E B A A
gypsy lady
E B A A
you're miracle worked for me
E B A A
you set my soul free
E B A A
like a ship sailing on the sea

[Bridge]
B A A A E B B A A A
she's sunlight when the stars are grey
B B B B A A A E B B A A A
she treats me so right lady take me away
