Pablo and Maria at the MPAC Chords

[G] _ [Am] _ _ _ Pablo Escobedo [C] took Maria for his bride in [D] the dead of winter _ _ [F] 1885. _ _ _
_ [G] [Am] A bitter snow was falling [C] as a dozen ragged men
_ _ [Dm] surrounded the little chapel, _ _ [F] trapping Pablo in.
_ _ _ _ [G] [Am] They called out surrender or we'll burn [C] the whole place down
and [Dm] Pablo whispered death [Bm] can't hurt me [F] now.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [Am]
Stay here my [D] Maria, _ [C] _
stay this way.
_ [Dm] Then he kissed her lips and [Bm] they dragged him [F] away. _ _ _ _
She heard him _ [G] _ _
calling [C] [G] to her,
[F] Sweet Maria, _ _ _ [C] can you hear _ me?
_ _ [G] Muffled echoes up and down a [Am] frozen canyon wall.
[G] _
[F] Maria, _ _ how [C] I love you.
_ [G] Till the lonesome sound had nowhere else [Dm] to go
_ and was swallowed in [Bm] the [Cm] January [Am] snow.
_ _ [C] Oh, _ oh, oh.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [G] [Am] When silence fell the solemn [C] priest said God will avenge my child.
_ [D] Maria [Dm] just stared right through [G] him [F] hollow-eyed and wild. _
_ _ [G] _ [Am] _ Stumbling into the muddy street she [C] lifted her eyes to see
[D] the twisting awkward silhouette [Am] now still beneath [F] the tree.
_ _ _ [G] _
[Am] No one dared to touch [C] her as she left her lover there
_ [Dm] and ran down toward the river with the [F] wind whipping her hair.
The _ _ [G] _ [Am] _ snowflakes swirled behind her [C] like the finest flowing train
_ [A#] and the north [Dm] wind moaned and [B] whispered [F] as if it knew her pain. _ _
_ She swore she _ [G]
still heard [C] him calling,
[Dm] Sweet [F] Maria, _ _ _ [C] can you hear _ _ me?
[G] _ Muffled echoes up and down a [Am] frozen canyon _ [G] wall.
[F] Maria, _ _ _ _ [C] how I love you.
_ [G] Till she reached the edge of the river far [Dm] below
_ and _ leapt [G] into the [C] January [Am] snow.
_ Oh, [C] _ _ oh, oh.
_ Oh, [Dm] oh, _ oh. _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ Hey.
[Dm] If _
_ [F#m] _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [G]
[Am] you're ever down in Texas [G] [C] in the January snow
_ [Dm] and you hear a mournful whisper [F#] in the [F] north wind as it blows, _
_ [G] you [Am] may feel the lonesome _ [C] presence of a lady all in white _
_ [Dm] weeping in the distance [D] _ [F]
just out of your _ sight. _ _
_ You may hear _ him _ [G] _ _ calling [C] [G] to her,
Sweet [F] Maria, _ _ _ [Em] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ muffled echoes up and down a [Am] frozen canyon wall.
[B] _ [F] Maria, _ _ [C] how I love _ you.
_ [G] Till a lonesome sound has nowhere [Dm] else to go.
Nowhere else to [D] go.
And is swallowed in the [G] _
January.
