Verse 1
(A minor) I sent Maria north last summer,
said I'd follow (G major) over soon
I'm reminded (F major) of my promise,
neath the yellow (A minor) desert moon
I can hear the cricket song again,
it's time (G major) for me to go
Cross (F major) over the border,
get (A minor) out of Mexico
By the bank I scan the darkness,
watch the (G major) river rolling past
I crouch (F major) down in the water,
hid (A minor) den by the grass
And I wait that muddy river
till I reach (G major) the other side
I scramble (F major) through the bushes
and (A minor) out into the night
And a foreign land is all that stands
between (G major) me and Maria (A minor)
I cross the line with her in mind,
my only (G major) chance to see (A minor) her
I rush silent through mesquite brush,
no thought (G major) of slowing down
Moving (F major) over the barbed wire fence,
I nev (A minor) er made a sound
Then I'd send word to Maria
where to meet (G major) me before dawn
I knew (F major) she would not fail me,
I prayed nothing (A minor) would go wrong
So I inched across the fence lines
and rushed (G major) across the roads
I was (F major) watchin' close for green and white,
(A minor) high -and -astronaut coats
And at last I reached the crossroads
before (G major) morning light
Sofa (F major) sweatin', torn by thorns,
Mari (A minor) a nowhere in sight
In a foreign land is all that stands
between (G major) me and Maria (A minor)
Across the line with her in mind,
my only (G major) chance to see (A minor) her
So I hit off in the brush,
(G major) paralyzed by victory
I searched (F major) my brain for answers
why Mari (A minor) a was not here
And the sky turned gray
as dawn approached
Still (G major) I saw no sign of Mari (F major) a
Down that long highway
I was (A minor) running out of time
Then it flickered down the pavement
Dropped (G major) me to the dust
With the (F major) rushing tires on asphalt
I looked (A minor) out through the brush
And my heart leapt to my throat
From patrol (G major) bronco past
I met the (F major) eyes of sweet Maria
(A minor) Crying through the glass
I stood and watched him disappear,
speed (G major) ing down the road
I walked (F major) out on the blacktop,
then turned my (A minor) head to go
On that (A minor) quiet early morning,
my heart heavy, (G major) filled with pain
I (F major) crawled across the barbed wire,
headed back (A minor) the way I came
And (A minor) foreign land is all that stands
between (G major) me and Maria (A minor)
Cross the line with her in mind
My only (G major) chance to (A minor) see her
My only (G major) chance to see (A minor) her (A minor) (A minor)
you
Me And Maria
