[ 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 G#5 E5
turn up the flame , step on the gas
A5 G#5 E5
burning the flag at half mast
A5 G#5 E5
she’s a rebel’s forgotten son
A5 G#5 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 G#5 E5
bring in the head of the government
A5 G#5 E5
the dog ate the document
A5 G#5 E5
somebody shot the president
A5 G#5 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 .
