[Intro]
E E/D E/C# E/B

[Verse]
A E A
Came from the hills of Livadia
D A E A
Ice capped peaks and eagle's spire
A E A
Olive groves and a bowl of stew
D A E A E
You dance all night with the kin you never knew
E E/D E/C# E/B

[Verse]
A E A
Australia seemed like a land of dreams
D A E A
Frigidaires and two TVs
A E A
Process work won't pay the bills
D A E A E
Kids need shoes, takes six weeks of saving

[Bridge]
F#m
And the debt collector haunts your sleep
E
Like a shadow at your heels
F#m
We can offer tea and sympathy
E
But can't know how it feels

[Pre-Chorus]
D E
Take your blues to the bottle every Friday night
A D
And drink them all away
E A
Take the world in your hands when the weekend comes
D E
Tomorrow's another day...

[Chorus]
A E A
Oh Ma-ri-a, sweet Ma-ri-a
D A E A
The blinds are torn and the door's ajar
A E A
A sneaking draught, it chills your bones
D A E A E
Ma-ri-a, you're so far from home

[Verse]
A E A
Foreman leers as he walks by
D A E A
Ugly dial and furtive eyes
A E A
You refuse again today
D A E A E
And what will come, there's no way of saying
