Pablo Maria

Am                    C
Pablo Escavado took Maria for his 
bride
Dm                F
Dead of winter 1885
  Am                           C
A bitter snow was falling as a dozen
 ragged men
   Dm                        
Surrounded the little chapel, 
 F
trapping Pablo in


They called out ?Surrender or we?ll 
burn the whole place down.?
Pablo whispered ?Death can?t hurt me
 know?
?Stay here my Maria, and remember me
 this way?
Then he kissed her lips and they 
dragged him away.



Chorus:
    F          G
She heard him, calling to her

       F              C
?Sweet Maria, can you hear me??
G                            
Muffled echoes up and down the 
  Am
frozen canyon walls
   F          C
?Maria, how I love you.?
         G                         
Till the lonesome sound had nowhere
         Dm
 else to go
           Dm               C     
And it was swallowed in the 
  Am    C  Dm  F
January snow


Silence fell; the solemn priest said
 ?God will avenge my child?
Maria just stared right through him,
 hollow eyed and wild
Stumbling into the muddy street she 
lifted her eyes to see,
The twisting awkward silhouette now 
still beneath the tree

No one dared to touch her and she 
left her lover there
And ran down to the river, with the 
wind whipping her hair
The snowflakes swirled behind her 
like the finest flowing train
And the north wind moaned and 
whispered, as if it knew her name

Chorus 2:
she swore she, still heard him 
calling
?Sweet Maria, can you hear me??
Muffled echoes up and down the 
frozen canyon wall
?Maria, how I love you?
Till she reached the edge of the 
river far below
And leapt into the January snow


If you?re ever down in Texas in the 
January snow
And you hear a mournful whisper in 
the North wind as it blows
You may feel the lonesome presence 
of a lady all in white
Weeping in the distance, just out of
 your sight
