Sunrise, this is [G] the last day [C] that I'll ever see
[Cm] Out in the courtyard, [G] they're ready for me
But [D] I go to my Lord with [G] no fear
[D] Cause I did what I did for Maria
As I rode into town, [G] with the sun going down
All [D] the windows were barred, there [G] was no one around
Oh, [D] they knew that I'd come, with [G] my hand on my gun
And [D] revenge in my heart for [G] Maria
[D] My dearest departed [G] Maria
[D] Take an eye for an eye, [G] and a life for a life
[D] And somebody must die [G] for the death of my wife
[D] Yes, I did what I did for [G] Maria
[D] I did what I did for [G] Maria
Laughter echoed across from [C] the end of the street
[Cm] There was a man I [G] was burning to meet
And [D] my mind was so calm and [G] so clear
[D] As I took my revenge for [G] Maria
[D] And he fell to the ground, [G] raising dust all around
[D] But I knew he was dead, [G] long before he went down
[D] It was quick, it was clean, [G] made it easy on him
[D] Which is more than he did for [G] Maria
[D] When he did what he did to [G] Maria
[D] Take an eye for an eye, and a life for a life
[D] And somebody must die [G] for the death of my wife
[D] Yes, I did what I did for [G] Maria
[D] I did what I did for [G] Maria

Sunrise, this is the last day [C] that I'll ever see
