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