The Sound of Music Soundtrack - 4 - Maria Chords

[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee, her dress has got a tear.
She waltzes on her way to mass and whistles on the [Bm] stair.
[E] And underneath her [D] wimple she has curlers in [Bm] her hair.
I've [F#m] even heard her singing in the [E] [Bm] arch.
_ [E] She's always [F#m] late [E] for chapel, but her penitence is real.
She's always late for everything, [D] except [E] for [Bm] every meal.
[F#m] I [E] hate to have to [D] say it, but I very firmly feel,
Maria's [F#m] not an [D] asset to the [Bm] Abbey.
_ [C#] I'd [B] like to say a word in [E] her behalf.
_ _ _ _ [F#m]
Maria [B] makes _ [E] me laugh. _
_ _ _ _ [A] How do you [E] solve a problem like Maria?
_ _ [A] How do you catch a cloud and [E] pin it down?
_ [A] How do you find a word that [D] means Maria?
[B] A flibbity [Dm]-gibbity, a will-o'-the-wisp, a [C#m] clown.
_ _ [A] Many a thing you [E] know you'd like to tell her.
_ [A] Many a thing she [D] ought to understand.
_ [C] But how do you make her stay and [E] listen to all you say?
[Am] How do you [E] keep a wave upon [G] the [E] sand?
Oh, how do you solve a problem [D] like Maria?
[Bm] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
When [E] I'm with her, I'm confused, out of focus and bemused,
and I never know exactly where I [A] am.
_ Unpredictable as [C#m] weather.
She's as flighty as a feather.
She's a darling.
[B] She's a demon.
[C#] She's a lamb. _
She'll outpest any pest, drive [D] a hornet from its nest.
She can throw a hurling dervish out of whorl.
She is gentle, she is wild.
She's a riddle, [A] she's a child.
[B] She's a headache, she's an angel.
She's [Bm] a girl.
[D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ How do you solve a problem like Maria?
_ _ How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
_ _ How do you find a word that [D] means Maria?
_ [B] _ _
[Dm] A will-o'-the-wisp, [C#m] a clown.
_ [E] _ _ [A]
Many a [E] thing you know you'd like to tell her. _
Many a thing she ought to understand.
[C#] _ _ [Am]
How do you make her stay [E] and listen to all you say?
[Am] How do you keep [E] a wave upon the _ sand?
[A] Oh, how you solve a [D] problem like Maria.
[Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[E] How do you hold [F] _ _
_ [E] _ _ him _ [D] _ _
[E] in _ _ your _ hand? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
