[Intro]
G G G G
[Verse]
G Am C G
You and I we got our problems, you and I we got hope
G Am C G
And we assume we will be solving them, we got love, we can cope
Em C Em D
But the lights in the distance and the fire burning on the shore
[Chorus]
G F C
See the .. Eyes of the children of Maria
G F C
Look at the .. Eyes of the children of Maria
G F C
See the .. Eyes of the children of Maria
Am G
Waiting for the coming of the Lord
[Verse]
G Am C G
Now everybody wants some saving grace, lash your back shave your hair
G Am
But when the angels come to St. Marks place
C G
They're just looking for something hip to wear
Em C Em D
And the ships they're sailing backwards, full of rags, dream and shades
[Chorus]
G F C
For the .. Eyes of the children of Maria
G F C
Look at the .. Eyes of the children of Maria
G F C
See the .. Eyes of the children of Maria
Am G
Waiting for the coming of the Lord
[Bridge]
Bb F Dm Am
I can't believe what I heard yesterday, they say the dollar bound to fall
Bb F C D
But those books they're written everyday I say the writings on the wall
[Verse]
G Am C G
Up above there goes a satellite, bouncing TV shows
G Am C G
For good reception man, it's what you got, for what you need, heaven knows
Em C Em D
And the pìctures of the babies, they are frozen forever in my mind
[Chorus]
G F C
Like the .. Eyes of the children of Maria
G F C
Look at the .. Eyes of the children of Maria
G F C
See the .. Eyes of the children of Maria
Am G
Waiting for the coming of the Lord
[Outro]
Am C G
Eyes of the hungry and the poor
Am C G
Waiting for the coming of the Lord
