Key: F
1 -2 -3 -3 3* -3 -2 -2
A-way out here they got a name
1 -2 -3 -3 3* -3 -2
for wind and rain and fi-re
1 -2 -3 -3 3* -3 4 4
The rain is Tess, the fire is Joe
-3 4 -5 4 -3 3 -3 -3
and they call the wind Ma-ri-a
1 -2 -3 -3 3* -3 -2 -2
Ma-ri-a blows the stars a-round
1 -2 -3 -3 3* -3 4
and sends the clouds a-fly-in'
4 -5 -3 -3 -5 4 -3 -3
Ma-ri-a makes the moun-tain sound
4 -5 4 -3 3 -3 -2
like folks were up there dy-in'
4 -5 -3 -5 4 -3
Ma-ri-a, Ma-ri-a
4 -5 4 -3 3 -3 -3
They call the wind Ma-ri-a
1 -2 -3 -3 3* -3 -2 -2
Be-fore I knew Ma-ri-a's name
1 -2 -3 -3 3* -3 -2
and heard her wail and whin-in'
1 -2 -3 -3 3* -3 4 4
I had a gal and she had me
-3 4 -5 4 -3 3 -3 -3
and the sun was al-ways shin-in'
1 -2 -3 -3 3* -3 -2 -2
But then one day I left my gal
1 -2 -3 -3 3* -3 4
I left her far be-hind me
4 -5 -3 -3 -5 4 -3 -3
And now I'm lost, so gol-durned lost
4 -5 4 -3 3 -3 -2
not ev-en God can find me
4 -5 -3 -5 4 -3
Ma-ri-a, Ma-ri-a
4 -5 4 -3 3 -3 -3
They call the wind Ma-ri-a
3 -3 -3 4 -5 -3
Ma-ri-a, Ma-ri-a
-5 6 6 -6 5 -3* 3 -2
Ma-ri-a Blow my love to me
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
