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)
