Maria Chords by Chris Cagle

[G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ [G#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [G#] I'm exhausted, _ [B] trying to catch my breath the morning [C#] [G#] after.
_ _ [B] _ _
Oh, [C#] my coffee, [G#] _ _ [B] it's shaking hands and my world in [C#] [G#] disarray.
_ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [F#] Lost in the softness and [E] the strength that's in her hands.
[B] I see her face [F#] and I can barely [G#m] stand.
_ [C#m] Oh, the sweet redemption, _ [G#m] every time she mentions that [F#] she wants me.
Oh, [G#] that she needs [D#] me.
Oh, [B] Maria.
_ [F#] Your kisses knock me over, [E] make me drunk and leave me sober.
They [F#] let me know that I'm a man.
[B] Maria.
_ [F#] Your touch, it almost kills me.
[E] Then it turns around and heals me.
I [F#] get lost and found again [E] in the arms of a woman [F#] that her mother gave the name [G#] Maria.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [D#m] _ [G#] _ _
_ _ [B] _ [F#] _ [B] _ [G#] Tender power, _ [B] the gift she gives me gets me through the [G#] day. _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [C#] Midnight [G#] hour, I [B] reach across the bed where she [G#] lay. _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] Then I look up and see [E] the moon dance on her skin.
[B] And my heart [F#] starts pounding [G#m] once again.
_ [C#m] It's a sweet intoxication of [G#m] powerful frustrations.
[B] How I want [F#] her.
Oh, [D#] how I need her.
Oh, [B] Maria.
_ [F#] Your kisses knock me over, [E] make me drunk and leave me sober.
They [F#] let me know that I'm a man.
_ [B] Maria.
_ [F#] Your touch, it almost kills me.
[E] Then it turns around and heals me.
I [F#] get lost and found again [E] in the arms of a woman [F#] that her mother gave the name [G#] Maria.

_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ [G#] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [G#] I make soft steps.
_ _ [B] _ _ [C#] I'm [G#] still trying to catch my breath.
_ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _ [G#] Maria.
