Start Jamming...
[G] Last night I came home by half past ten
[Gm]
[G] There was a woman I thought I [C] knew
In [Gm] the [F#] arms of another man
[G]
Oh now listen I kept my cool cause I ain't no fool
Let me [Cm] tell you what happened [Gm] then
[G] Oh there are some things [C] I walked out on
And I ain't coming back [Dm] again
[G]
Now [D] you've been lots of things [C] but most of all
A good [G] secretary to me
And it's time that I [C] disappear
You've always been close to [G] me
I've been working [C] alone at night
To try and make a good [G] life
But all the [C] getting off that lay have just cost me [G] a wire
So take a letter from Maria
[F] And send it to my wife
[C] Say I won't be coming home
I'm [G] gonna die a little lie
Take a letter from Maria
[F] And send it to my wife
[C] And you can't be doing no harm
[G] To start a new life
[C]
[G] [C]
[G] [C]
[G] [C]
[G] Now when a man [C] loves a woman
It's hard to [G] understand
How she could find [C] more pleasure
In the arms of [G] another man
She never [C] really noticed
How [Em] deep his heart [G] is
It just so [C] happens I'm free tonight
Would you like to help [G] me with it?
Take a little Maria
[F] Just listen to my heart
[C] Say I won't be coming home
From [G] the start of middle life
Yeah, take a little Maria
[C] Just listen to my [Am] heart
[C] And I got this in my life
From [G] the start of middle life
[C] [F] [C]
[G]
[F] [C]
[G] Take a little, little, little, little [F] Maria
[C] Oh Maria, [Am] [G] Maria
Take a little, little, [A] little, little [C]
Maria
[G]
[F] [Am]
[E] Yeah, [G] yeah,
[A#] [F] [C]
[G] Maria
