Oh Maria
Chorded by: Pete Daley

Capo 3


Em                 A
   You could never compromise
Em               A
   I could never satisfy you at all
D                         G             
   Always thought you had gentle eyes
D                          G                   Em
   Then you've had me institutionalized (twice before)
                  A
   Before I was a young man
Em                          A
   Now look at me, I'm just younger than old
D                          G
   The years don't seem to touch you
D                          G          A  G
   It makes me wonder what you sold


Chorus
G
Oh my Maria
F#m           Em            D        A      A  G
   I'll never change you, I know...I know
G
I need to see you
F#m           Em          Bm
   That never changes, oh no


Em                  A
   You lived on the 7th floor
Em                 A
   It was far from heaven but it meant more
D                            G
   You said things that were hard to ignore
D                  G       
   My conversation makes you bored
Em                  A
   You always hated wedding bells
Em                          A         
   You'd go out riding with the Hell's and say
D               G
Life is for the taking
Em              Bm         A  G 
Life is for the taking...


Chorus


Bridge
A                          D
  So how's it going to be, Maria?
A                  
  Will it be you and me?  Or will it be
Em
  Five more years of counting my tears
Em
  Five more years of living in fear
A
  I  beg for my supper at night

  If this is love then it don't feel right
Em
   And my heart's burning out of control
Bm
   They gave her five, but she's out on parole
D
   Hey, hey, hey
                           Em        D
   This girl is leading me astray


      Em              A
Saw a pho-to-graph of you today
     Em                   A
Your eyes look tired, but you haven't aged
    D                  G
And now I see that you made the front page
D                             G
Married for the money and you blew him away
   Em                   A
Oh Maria, when you were doing time
         Em             A
You only had five words on your mind

D               G  
Life is for the taking
Em              Bm      A  G
Life is for the taking



Chorus 2x


A                               D
   I beg for my supper at night
A
   If this is love then it don't feel right
Em
   And my heart's burning out of control
Bm
   They gave her five, but she's out on parole

D
  Hey hey hey
                          Em       D
  This girl is leading me astray
                D
  Listen what I say
                          Em
  This girl is leading me astray
