              D                  
Well, it was Saturday night and I 
       A           D
was feeling all right, Drinking
 G                   D
tequila amaretto on down.
G                   D            
Me and Miguel on a fast train to 
             Em7               
Hell from a southwestern border 
  A
town.
         D                   A    
Well, I fell in love with a 
   D           G                 
Mexican dove as the band played a 
D
melody,
D           G                    
And with a smile on her face she 
         D                    
took me back to this place and 
   A
“That’s
                   D
all she wrote for me.”


[Chorus]
         G     D              A  
Singing, Oh, Maria what’d you do 
   D             G             D
to me with your long obsidion hair?
           G                    D 
You had a hand on my heart and one
                     Em7
 in my pocket now I know you never
        A
really cared.
         G              D         
And El Diablo’s always looking for
  A             D            G  D
 another blind fool and he’s always
 Em7       A
close at hand.
            G                  
He drives a taxi in the day and

night he plays trumpet in a mariachi

[Verse]
            D                      
There was a warm southern breeze in
      A        D
 the air that night, there were
 G                         D
dancers looking light and gay,
           G                    
There was music in the bars, and 
  D                          Em7
eight hundred cars, driving up and 
down
           A
along the way.
            D                
There were pretty city lights 
          A           D        
shining down on the sights and a 
   G
bridge
                D
across the Rio Grande
D         G                       
There was me on the street with my
 D                       A
 heart at my feet and my pockets 
full
           D
of desert sand.


[Chorus]
         G     D              A  
Singing, Oh, Maria what’d you do 
   D            G              D
to me with your long obsidion hair?
           G                    D 
You had a hand on my heart and one
                    Em7
 in my pocket now I know you never
        A
really cared.
         G              D
