[INTRO]
D5  A5    x2


[VERSE]
D5     A5
       She smashed the radio with the board of education
D5     A5
       Turn up the static left of the state of the nation


[PRE-CHORUS]
A5 Ab5 E5
       Turn up the flame, step on the gas
A5 Ab5 E5       
       Burning the flag at half mast
A5 Ab5 E5       
       She's a rebel's forgotten son
A5 Ab5 E5       
       An export of the revolution


[VERSE]
D5     A5     
       She is the first voice of the last ones in the line
D5     A5
       She'll drag the lake to keep the vendetta alive


[PRE-CHORUS]
A5 Ab5 E5
       Bring in the head of the government
A5 Ab5 E5
       The dog ate the document
A5 Ab5 E5
       Somebody shot the President
A5 Ab5 E5
       And no one knows where Maria went?


[CHORUS]
       D5 A5  D5 A5  D5 A5
       Maria, Maria, Maria,
                     E5
       Where did you go?

       
       E5   A5   x4


[BRIDGE] 
          E5       A5         E5  A5
       Be careful what you're offering
            E5           A5     E5    A5
       Your breath lacks the conviction
       E5      A5       E5     A5
       Drawing the line in the dirt
         E5        A5     E5    
       Because the last decision
              
       ....is no. 


[SOLO]
       D5  A5  D5  A5  D5  A5  E5   x2  


[VERSE]
D5     A5
       She smashed the radio with the board of education
D5     A5
       Turn up the static left of the state of the nation


[PRE-CHORUS]
A5 Ab5 E5
       Turn up the flame, step on the gas
A5 Ab5 E5       
       Burning the flag at half mast
A5 Ab5 E5       
       She's a rebel's forgotten son
A5 Ab5 E5       
       An export of the revolution


[CHORUS]
       D5 A5  D5 A5  D5 A5
       Maria, Maria, Maria,
                     E5
       Where did you go?


[CHORUS]
       D5 A5  D5 A5  D5 A5
       Maria, Maria, Maria,
                     E5
       Where did you go?
