G C G C

Maria, you're still wild and restless

G C D

And I can just see ya ridin' in a rodeo

G C G C

You might even make it down to Texas

G D G C G

Or you might head out west to New Mexico

G C G C

So pack up all of your belongings

G C D

A pick-up will take you where you wanna go

G C G C

You can ride out when you hear mountains calling

G D G C G

Out to Canada or the canyons of Colorado

D C G C G

New York City was always your home

D C G

But in your heart you know you were born to roam

B7 C

And you're gonna leave as soon as you get the money

G D G C G

After you sell everything you own

GUITAR SOLO

G C G C

Maria, is loneliness a virtue

G C D

Or does it steal you blind and leave you split apart

G C G C

Maria, can you give me an answer

G D G C G

Are the songs we sing worth the broken heart

G C G C

The highway has always been your lover

G C D

And someday you may know his name

G C G C

Wherever you stay it wouldn't really matter

G D G C G

'Cause all those cities start to look the same

D C G C G

Some folks will try to take your heart away

D C G

And just when you think you've really got it made

B7 C

You wake up and find madness in the morning

G D G C G

But damn the pain and damn those restless days

G D G

Damn the pain and damn those restless days
