Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Maria, you're the only one
[C]that ever understood the [G]way I feel
[D]Maria, you're the only one to me
that was ever [G]real
And yet you bid me go,
for inside [C]your heart you know I cannot [G]stay
So keep [D]your light in the window burnin'
[C]Little girl, I'm comin' back som[G]e day
Ah, Maria, if I only had [C]the power
To turn back [G]the hands of time
[D]I'd spread my wings around you
And a little girl [G]I'd make you mine
Cause all you ever wanted [C]was to love me
In your [G]plain and honest way
So [D]keep your light in
your window burnin'
[C]Little girl, I'm comin' back some [G]day
Ah, [C]Maria,
you gave me the precious gift of love
That I had nev[G]er known
And [C]then you kissed me gently,
but when I opened up [G]my eyes,
you were [D]gone.
An[G]d now I'm gonna lose
the [C]only good thing,
God, that ever [G]came my way
But [D]keep your light in
your window burnin'
[C]Little girl, I'm comin'
back some [G]day[C][G]
You
