Maria by Robert Earl Keen (also done by George Strait)
[Verse 1]
C
There's a salt grain tapping on your window
F
There's a cool breeze blowing off the bay
G
A warm flame dancing with our shadows
F G
To music playing far away
[Verse 2]
C
I never meant to stay an hour
F
I thought that I was passing through
G
Another town along the highway
F G C
I never meant to fall for you
[Chorus]
F G C
I can't speak for you Maria
E F
I only know the way I feel
G C
But when I sleep with you Maria
F G C
There's nothing left for dreams to steal
[Verse 3]
C
On a Bible by the mirror
F
The only treasures that we hold
G
The only secrets that we're keeping
F G C
A watch, a chain, a cross of gold
[Chorus]
F G C
I can't speak for you Maria
E F
I only know the way I feel
G C
But when I sleep with you Maria
F G C
There's nothing left for dreams to steal
[Verse 4]
C
When the sunlight brings the morning
F
I cannot tell you what I'll do
G
But I've a mind to take you with me
F G C
And I've a heart to stay with you
[Chorus]
