        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
        don't you know that I've 
E      B         A A
come a long long way
       E          B          A   A
        I've been longing to see ya
                  E                
        when shes around she takes 
   B     A  A
my blues away
                   E  B  A A
        sweet maria
                E       B        
        sunlight surely hurts my 
A  A
eyes
       E      B      A   A
        I'm a lonely dreamer
               E       B      A  A
        lonely highway in the skies

****************************************************

        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....
