Maria Maria By Santana

[Intro]
Am

[Chorus]
          Dm
Maria Maria
                              Am   
She reminds me of a west side story
                      Em    E7
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
                                  Am        
She's living the life just like a movie star
A7       Dm
Maria Maria
                           Am
She fell in love in East L.A.
                      Em               E7
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
                      Am
Played by Carlos Santana

[Verse 1]
         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

[Bridge]
Am                               
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola x8

[Chorus]
          Dm

[Verse 2]
               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]
          Dm
Maria Maria
                              Am

Growing up in Spanish Harlem
                                  Am        
She's living the life just like a movie star
