[Verse 1]
A     G    A              D
Hey Maria, with your kind eyes
A                 D
Laugh through the day time
G                A
Night comes, she cries
            G     A             D
I am just a rider on this rough road
A            D             G       A
Driving some smoke up from old Mexico

[Verse 2]
A    G    A           D
Oh Maria, whiskey and rye
A              D             G             A
Walking up the stairs with a man twice her size
         G          A         D
If I had money, I'd buy her a rose
A            D             G           A
Dress her in gold from her head to her toes

Yeah Maria, sparkles like sunlight on a lake
F#m            C#7             A              C#7
Every time she passes by, it's all that I can take
D            Bm
Maria, oh oh oh
  D          Bm  E
Maria, oh oh oh

[Verse 3]
A    G          A          D
Oh Maria, stays out of the sun
A             D            G           A
Waits for the rain to fall down on her tongue
      G    A         D
Hey Maria, give me a smile
A           D        G          A
Let me come over and stay for a while

[Bridge]
F#m         C#7           A             C#7
Yeah Maria, sparkles like sunshine on a lake
F#m            C#7             A              C#7
Every time she passes by, it's all that I can take

Maria, oh oh oh
