Maria Maria By Santana





Intro: Am 

          Dm 
Maria Maria 
                              Am 
She reminds me of a west side story 
      Em 
Growing up in Spanish Harlem 
  Am 
She's living the life just like a movie star 

          Dm 
Maria Maria 
                           Am 
She fell in love in East L.A. 
      Em 
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah 
                      Am 
Played by Carlos Santana 

         Am 
Stop the looting, stop the shooting 
     G 
Pick pocking on the corner 
   F 
See as the rich is getting richer 
    G               E/G# 
The poor is getting poorer 

          Am 
Se Mira Maria on the corner 
    G 
Thinking of ways to make it better 
      F 
In my mailbox there's an eviction letter 
G    E/G# 
Somebody just said see you later

Am 
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola 

Ahora vengo mama chola 

Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola 

Ahora vengo mama chola x8 

CHORUS
       Am 
I said a la favella los colores
    G 
The streets are getting hotter 
    F 
There is no water to put out the fire 
E 
Mi canto la esperanza 

   E/G#    Am 
Se Mira Maria on the corner 
    G 
Thinking of ways to make it better 
       F 
Then I looked up in the sky 
          E 
Hoping of days of paradise 

Am 
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola 

Ahora vengo mama chola x8

BRIDGE:

Am                            G 
     Maria you know you're my lover 
F        E 
     When the wind blows I can feel you 
            Am G 
Through the weather and even when we're apart 
F        E 
I still feel like we're together

CHORUS
