My Maria...
G5                   D5      A5           G5
Don't you know I've come a long, long, way?

I'm a lonely dreamer, on a highway in the skies.

My Maria...

D5       A5        G5                     D5  A5        G5
Just my thoughts about you, bring back my peace of mind.

Gypsy lady...

You set my soul free, like a ship sailing on the sea.

She is the sunlight when skies are gray.

She treats me so right, lady, take me away.
