[Intro]
E/G# E/F# E
E/G# E/F# E
[Verse 1]
E
Mario was a perfect stranger
A
Even in the face of danger
E B7
Nobody knew if he’d hang around or turn around and run
E
From Heaven to the other side of Hades
A
He was attractive to the ladies
E B7 E
Some said he was an angel and some said he was the Devil’s son
A
But if there was a lock on swift salvation
E
Mario picked the combination
B7 A B7
Headed for higher ground with real gold in his heart
E
And he left a trail no one could trace
A
And he told half-truths no one could face
E B7 E
Deep in the river of his soul, the time had come to part
A B7 E E/G# E/F# E
There are those who never come home
[Verse 2]
E
Maria was the lonely one
A
And Mario was the only one
E B7
Who ever meant anything more to her than a fast “how do you do?”
E
With a roof over her prayerful head
A
And a gun under her feather bed
E B7 E
She had nightmares every day, and all of them came true
A
But changing time and different places
E
She found friends and fresher faces
B7 A B7
If she had a memory, she’d locked it in her heart
E
Accusations, loaded questions
A
Empty thoughts and a few confessions
E B7 E
Yesterday’s the finish and tomorrow is the start
A B7 E E/G# E/F# E
There are those who never come home
[Verse 3]
E
Angeline carved wooden dreams
A
An artist of the world it seems
