Chords

Maria by Robert Earl Keen (also done by George Strait) [Verse 1]

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

Another town along the highway

I never meant to fall for you

I can't speak for you Maria

I only know the way I feel

But when I sleep with you Maria

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

A watch, a chain, a cross of gold

I only know the way I feel

When the sunlight brings the morning

I cannot tell you what I'll do

But I've a mind to take you with me

F          G                  C
And I've a heart to stay with you

There's nothing left for dreams to steal
