[Intro] G Bm Bbm Am C D [Verse 1]
G                 Bm Bbm
We were 16 years old

Am                       C D
She wore flowers in her hair

G                                 Bm Bbm
She said the night, it’s getting cold

Am                               C D
‘Neath the stars at the county fair

G                                    Bm Bbm
You know the days seemed to come and go

Am                           C D
But the nights could not compare

G                      Bm Bbm
And I never seemed to know

Am                      C
What’s hidden in her stare
[Chorus]
Am
When the night falls

C
I fall back on sweet Maria

G
And her voice calls out to me

D
This is where I want to be

Am
And her choice stalls

C
Memory is growing sweeter

G
We go dancing in the night

D
Just me and sweet Maria
[Verse 2]
G                               Bm Bbm
You know the night was getting cold

Am                             C D
While she swayed beneath the stars

G                              Bm Bbm
I laid her down on a field of gold

Am                     C D
And I held her in my arms

G                                  Bm Bbm
When we touched, I could feel her soul

Am                                  C D
And that’s the night she stole my heart

G                                 Bm Bbm
In forty years we’ll be grey and old

Am                                  C
But we’ll still be dancing in the dark
[Chorus]
Am
When the night falls

C
I fall back on sweet Maria

G
And her voice calls out to me

D
This is where I want to be

Am
And her choice stalls

C
Memory is growing sweeter

G
We go dancing in the night

D
Just me and sweet Maria
[Chorus]
Am
When the night falls

C
I fall back on sweet Maria

G
And her voice calls out to me

D
This is where I want to be

Am
And her choice stalls

C
Memory is growing sweeter

G
We go dancing in the night

D
Just me and sweet Maria
