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