[Intro] G C G C G D G C G [Chorus]
G             C              G       C
Maria, you're still wild and restless

                G      C              D
And I can just see ya ridin' in a rodeo

          G    C                G    C
You might even make it down to Texas

                   G   D               G  C  G
Or you might head out west to New Mexico
[Verse]
G          C              G        C
So pack up all of your belongings

  G             C                       D
A pick-up will take you where you wanna go

        G              C                   G      C
You can ride out when you hear mountains calling

       G             D               G   C  G
Out to Canada or the canyons of Colorado

D        C                     G   C  G
New York City was always your home

D           C                       G  
But in your heart you know you were born to roam

                  B7                           C
And you're gonna leave as soon as you get the money

          G    D               G C G
After you sell everything you own
[Solo] G C G C G C D D G C G C G D G C G [Chorus]
G          C           G     C
Maria, is loneliness a virtue

           G                     C             D
Or does it steal you blind and leave you split apart

G       C                  G     C
Maria, can you give me an answer

        G             D                 G   C  G     
Are the songs we sing worth the broken heart
[Bridge]
G                C               G     C
The highway has always been your lover

    G       C                D   
And someday you may know his name

 G                C                   G     C
Wherever you stay it wouldn't really matter

                 G       D                G   C  G
'Cause all those cities start to look the same
[Outro]
D               C                 G        C  G
Some folks will try to take your heart away

D                  C                  G
And just when you think you've really got it made

         B7                          C
You wake up and find madness in the morning

    G                  D                  G    C G
But damn the pain and damn those restless days

G                  D                   G
Damn the pain and damn those restless days
