Bonita Marie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Mar[G]ie is [D]soft like the [Em]curve and the [Bm]croft
of the [C]winter green [G]hills by [D]San Juan
Her [Em]gaze is a [D]swoon of a [Em]summer moon
[Bm]in the backy[C]ard of b[D]eyond[G]
Marie is my [D]girl and [Em]she makes my [Bm]world
[C]An improbable [G]line of po[D]etry
Her [Em]smile is [D]sweet like a
[Em]three -quarter beat
[Bm]Laid[C] slowly across an ol[D]d melo[G]dy
Bonita Mar[C]ie
You stall in my [G]heart
You [D]always res[C]ist
My [D]love in the stars
[G]In the absence of lig[C]ht
Of an endless [G]night
The [D]morning comes [C]on
With my [D]Bonita Marie
[G]She sang pretty son[D]gs
with [Em]her dappled e[Bm]ye s
Be[C]neath the [G]silvery [D]stars
[Em]The words [D]tender like [Em]love
sur[Bm]rendered
[C]Whispered [D]deep from my [G]heart
Bonita Mar[C]ie
You've stolen my [G]heart
You [D]always possess
[C]My lov[D]e in the sta[G]rs
In the absence of [C]light
I'm an endless [G]night
The [D]morning comes [C]on
With [D]Bonita Marie

[Verse 2]
[G]Maria's [D]soft like the [Em]curve in the [Bm]crop
Of [C]the winter [G]greens by [D]San Juan
Her [Em]gaze is the [D]swirl of a [Em]sun, a moon,
[Bm]In the backy[C]ard of b[D]eyond.
