Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
Hey! The faucet
she is dripping
A 
and the fence she's falling down
My pockets need some money
D 
so I can't go into town
B 
My brother isn't working
Em 
and my sister doesn't care
A 
The car she needs a motor
so I can't go anywhere
D 
Em 
Mariana, Mariana,
A 
Mariana
D 
is soon enough for me
My mother's always working,
A 
she is working very hard
But every time she looks for me,
D 
I'm sleeping in the yard
B 
My mother thinks I'm lazy,
Em 
and maybe she is right
A 
I'll go to work
Mariana, but I gotta sleep tonight
D 
Mariana, Mariana,
Em 
A 
Mariana
D 
is soon enough for me
Once I had some money,
A 
but I gave it to a friend
He said he'd pay me double
D 
if it was only for a lender
B 
But still a little later,
Em 
the horse she was to slow
A 
And why he gave the horse
my money is something I don't know
D 
Em 
A 
Manana, manana, manana
D 
Em 
is soon enough for me.

D 
My brother took his suitcase
A 
and he went away to school.
My father said he'd only learn
D 
to be a silly fool.
B 
My father said that I  should learn
Em 
to make a chili pot.
A 
But then I burned the house down,
D 
the chili she was too hot.
Em 
Mariana, Mariana,
A 
Mariana,
D 
you're suited up for me.
