Robert Earl Keen - Maria guitar chord

Maria

by Robert Earl Keen (also done by George Strait)

Verse 1

(C) There's a salt grain tapping on your window

There's a cool breeze blowing off the (F) bay

(G) A warm flame dancing with our shadows

(F) To music playing far a (G) way

Verse 2

(C) I never meant to stay an hour

I thought that I was passing (F) through

(G) Another town along the highway

(F) I never (G) meant to fall for (C) you

CHORUS

(F) I can't (G) speak for you (C) Maria

(E) I only know the way I (F) feel

But when I (G) sleep with you (C) Maria

(F) There's nothing (G) left for dreams to (C) steal

(Use chords for verse 2 for the rest of the songs)

On a Bible by the mirror

The only treasures that we hold

The only secrets that we're keeping

A watch, a chain, a cross of gold

REPEAT CHORUS

When the sunlight brings the morning

I cannot tell you what I'll do

But I've a mind to take you with me

And I've a heart to stay with you

REPEAT CHORUS

Repeat last line of chorus
