Stevenson '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 ********** chorus: both vocals listed *********** E B A E marieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee oh ma ria I love you love you A B A E eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeya oh my ma ria E B A E marieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee oh ma ria I love you love you A A A E eeeya I love you maria I love you ************* verse two ********************** E B A A my maria E B A A there were some blue and some low times E B A A just my thoughts about you E B A A bring back my peace of mind E B A A gypsy lady E B A A you're miracle worked for me E B A A you set my soul free E B A A like a ship sailing on the sea *************** bridge ********************** B A A A E B B A A A shes sunlight when the stars are grey B B B B A A A E B B A A A she treats me so right lady take me away 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.... --------------------- ----------------------| --------------------- ----------------------| --------------------- ---------------------| ---2-----2----------- ---2---2---2----------| ---2--------2-------- ---0-h-4-------2------| ---0--4-----0-------- ---------------0------| ---------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------| --------------------------------------| ---2---2--2---4-2---------2------------| ---0-h-4----------2---2-4----2---------| -----------------------------0---------| ...questions, comments and corrections to jeffnmoe@mcs.com
