Maria, I'm growing so tired of fighting this war,
C5                    F5                   G5  G5 G5 G5 G5
Maria, I feel like I just can't go on anymore.

G5                             G5   G5 G5 G5
The sounds we make as they're dying
G5                               G5   G5 G5 G5
Hearing their screams and their crying
    G5                        G5
The children, their eyes are weeping;
   G5                C5
we filled them with pain.

Maria, at night in my dreams I keep calling your name.

After the battle is over
G5                     G5    G5 G5 G5
And I am just another soldier
G5                     G5        G5          C5
Maria, I'm longing to hold you again in my arms.
