LYRICS:
play intro
[D] Oh my [E]Ma - ri - [Esus4]a[D#+]
[D] Seems you [E]got me in your [Esus4]spell once mo[D#+]re
[D] Must be [E]there's a st[Esus4]orm on the wa[D#+]y
You [D]taught me to kn[C#5]ow when you're ne[F#m]ar[E]
[D]Mmmm[C#5]...[F#m]
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 [D]rock and ro[C#5]ll 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 [E]sweet your grace I [D#+]stumbled in
E E#º
And how completely you waved as I laughed in your face
Oh [F#m]my Ma[E]ria[D#+]
Oh [F#m]my Ma[E]ria[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
Ma[D]ria my so[C#5]ng can you he[D#+]ar
BRIDGE 2
I know you see the [D]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
Ma[E]ria[D#+]
Oh my [F#m]sweet Ma[E]ria[D#+]
E E#º
In the silence on the hill you know I'll be dreamin' of you still
Now the [F#m]one Ma[E]ria[D#+]
Oh m[F#m]y Ma[E]ria[D#+]
play MARIA figure
