Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D][C][Bm][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Came from the hills
[D]of [G]Lag[C]uardia
Ice capped peaks and [D]eagle's [G]spire
Olive groves and a [D]bowl [G]of stew
You [C]dance all night with the [D]kin
you [G]never knew
[D][C]

[Verse 2]
[Bm][A]
[D]Austra[G]lia seemed like
a [D]land of dream[G]s[C]
[G]Fri[D]gidaire and two TV'[G]s
Process [D]work won't pay the bill[G]s
[C]Kids need shoes,
[D]takes six [G]weeks of saving
[D][C]

[Verse 3]
[Bm][A]
[D]And the deb[Em]t collector haunts your sleep
Like a [D]shadow at your heels
We [Em]can offer tea and sympathy
But [D]we can't know how it feels

[Verse 4]
He [C]goes to the bottle every [D]friday night
And [G]drink them all [C]away
Take [D]world in your hands when
the [G]weekend comes
Cause to[C]morrow's another day

[Verse 5]
[D]Oh [C]Mar[Bm]ia s[G]weet[D] M[G]aria[D]
[G]The bli[C]nds are[G] torn and the doo[D]r's ajar
[G]A sneaking draught that
[D]chills [G]your bones
[C]Maria, [D]you're so [G]far from
[D]home[C][Bm][A]

[Verse 6]
[G]Foreman leers as [D]he walks [G]by
[C]Ugly dial and [D]furtive eye[G]s
You refuse, [D]again [G]today
And [C]what will come,
[D]there's no [G]way of [D]saying[C][Bm][A]

[Verse 7]
They [G]rob you blind they [D]suck [G]you dry
You [C]sell [G]your life, they [D]sell [G]you lies
Wogs and scrogs you [D]hear them say
[G]And when you mee[C]t them face to [D]face
they [G]turn away
[D][C]

[Verse 8]
[Bm][A]
And the [Em]crime breeds hard
in the used car yards
[D]And the semis whine at night
[Em]Chequered dreams of sanctuary
To the [D]flicker of a neon light

[Verse 9]
He [C]goes to the bottle every [D]friday night
And [G]drink them all [C]away
Take [D]world in your hands
when the [G]weekend comes
Cause to[C]morrow's
another day
[D][C][Bm][D]

[Verse 10]
[G]Oh Maria sweet [D]Mari[G]a
The [C]blinds are torn [G]and the
door's ajar
A sneaking draught that [D]chills your [G]bones
[C]Maria, you[D]'re so far[G] from
[D]home[C][Bm][D][C]

[Verse 11]
Husband's [D]face is pocked and [Bm]lined
Pride is shattered and his rage is blind
[C]Out of work, short [G]of hope
You [D]try to talk but he just won't
understand
[C][Bm][D]

[Verse 12]
[G]Oh Maria sweet [D]Mari[G]a
The [C]blinds are torn [G]and
the door's ajar
A sneaking draught that [D]chills [G]your bones
[C]Mari[G]a, [D]you're so [G]far from [D]home[C][Bm]
And you [C]sing your song alone.
[G]
