My Maria

                E  B  A A
        my maria
                                 E      B         A A
        don't you know that I've come a long long way
       E          B          A   A
        I've been longing to see ya
                  E                   B     A  A
        when shes around she takes my blues away
                   E  B  A A
        sweet maria
                E       B        A  A
        sunlight surely hurts my eyes
       E      B      A   A
        I'm a lonely dreamer
               E       B      A  A
        lonely highway in the skies

        ****************************************************

        there are several different riffs in this vein
        that he plays at the beginning of the song and
        at the end of each verse... i don't have the record so
        I'm not sure where exactly he plays each one (or the
        exact content..) but any of these riffs will work after
        any verse, so mix'n'match to your hearts content. If
        anyone out there knows the exact fingerings please
        correct....
