Brooks & Dunn - My Maria (updated) guitar chord
'My Maria' - B.W. Stevenson
Covered by Brooks & Dunn
I have updated my post after playing it for a year.
Hope these revsions help.
1. To play with the record, tune DOWN 1 step,
The song is actually played in Eb.
2. You can achieve the same tuning by capoing 1 fret in standard tuning,
and playing D,A,G in lieu of the E,B,A tuned down one step.
Verse 1 - (starts w/ riff-E-B-A progression; below)
