'My Maria' - B.W. Stevenson
this song is in normal tuning (EBGDAE) but if you're
playing along with the record you must tune slightly
sharp (A444 instead of A440)...if you're not playing
along with the record no one will notice.....
************* verse one **********************
(starts out with riff-E-B-A progression;
see riffs below)
E B A A
my maria
E B A A
don't you know that I've come a long long way
E B A A
I've been longing to see ya
E B A A
when shes around she takes my blues away
E B A A
sweet maria
E B A A
sunlight surely hurts my eyes
E B A A
I'm a lonely dreamer
E B A A
lonely highway in the skies

E B A A
you set my soul free
E B A A
like a ship sailing on the sea

B B B B A A A E B B A A A

E B A A
************* back to chorus 2x and end ************
****************************************************
there are several different riffs in this vein
that he plays at the beginning of the song and
at the end of each verse... i don't have the record so
I'm not sure where exactly he plays each one (or the
exact content..) but any of these riffs will work after
any verse, so mix'n'match to your hearts content. If
anyone out there knows the exact fingerings please
correct....
