Maria

# # #Maria # #by Robert Earl Keen (also done by George Strait) # #Verse1 C There's a soft rain tapping on your window F There's a cool breeze blowing off the bay G A warm flame dancing with our shadows F G To music playing far a way Verse 2 C I never meant to stay an hour F I thought that I was passing through G Another town along the highway F G C I never meant to fall for you CHORUS F G C I can't speak for you Maria E F I only know the way I feel G C But when I sleep with you Maria F G C There's nothing left for dreams to 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
