[Intro] Am [Chorus] Dm Maria Maria Am She reminds me of A west side story Em Growing up in Spanish Harlem Am She's living the life just like A movie star Dm Maria Maria Am She fell in love in East L.A. Em To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah Am Played by Carlos Santana [Verse] Am Stop the looting, stop the shooting G Pick pocking on the corner F See as the rich is getting richer G [E/G#] The poor is getting poorer Am Se Mira Maria on the corner G Thinking of ways to make it better F In my mailbox there's an eviction letter G [E/G#] Somebody just said see you later [Bridge] Am Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola Ahora vengo mama chola Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola Ahora vengo mama chola x8 [Chorus] Am I said A la favella los colores G The streets are getting hotter F There is no water to put out the fire E Mi canto la esperanza [E/G# ] Am Se Mira Maria on the corner G Thinking of ways to make it better F Then I looked up in the sky E Hoping of days of paradise Am Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola Ahora vengo mama chola x8 [Bridge] Am G Maria you know you're my lover F E When the wind blows I can feel you Am G Through the weather and even when we're apart F E I still feel like we're together
