David Allan Coe - Maria Is A Mystery

[Intro]
F Bb F C X2

F C
Maria has a music box she winds up most every day
Bb G
Once a week is all it takes, to make the music play
F Bb
Melody is just some childhood lullaby her mother
F C
Used to sing to her.

F C
And the road down to the city, goes right by Maria's door
Bb G
I often walk right by her house on my way to the store
F
Up there where those Italian mothers
Bb C
Dress their shivering bambinos
F
For the rain.

[Chorus]
Bb C Bb F
She tells me about Jesus, and all his gallant men
Bb C F
I tell her about fantasy
Bb C F D
Maria she's this lady, on the way down to the river
Bb C F
Maria she's a mystery
Bb C F Bb F C
Maria she's a mystery.

F C
Yeah passing by this morning, I drew a picture in my head
Bb G
Our bodies in some candlelight that glowed upon our skin
F Bb
Maybe if I touched her, she would disappear
C F
Like angels in a dream.

[Chorus]
F Bb F C x3
