Chorus:

 6  -5  6    7   5  -4  5    6    4 -3 -4
How do you solve a prob-lem like Ma-ri-a?

 6  -5  6    7   5   -4   5   6   4  -4
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

 5  -4  5    6  4   4    4    5    6 -6 7
How do you find a word that means Ma-ri-a?

7  -8   -8 -8  -8  -8
A flib-ber-ti gib-get! 

-8  7  7   7    7  
A will-o' the wisp! 

7   -7
A clown!

 6 -5 6   7    5   -4    5     6   4  -3  -4
Man-y a thing you know you'd like to tell her,

 6 -5 6   7    5   -4    5  6  7    -8
Man-y a thing she ought to un-der-stand.

 -8  8   6  6    6   6    6
But how do you make her stay

 8   -8  6   6  6   6   6  
and lis-ten to all you say?

 7   6  6    6  6   6   6  6  7   -7 
How do you keep a wave up-on the sand?

-6   6  -5  6    7   5  -4   5   6    7  8 -9
Oh, how do you solve a prob-lem like Ma-ri-a?

 8  -8  7   -7 -6   8   -8   7  -7    7
How do you hold a moon-beam in your hand?
