Chord/Tab song: Maria Is a Mystery

David Allan Coe - Maria Is A Mystery

F Bb F C X2

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

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

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

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

Chorus:
