Maria Elena
Intro: Dm /E F6 /G A7
Dm /E F /G Bb
There's a cottage in the village in the country
A7 Dm /Eb
I have learned to love
Dm /E F
And every night the curfew rings
/G Bb A7 Dm
And people sing their prayers to heaven above
C F6
In the cottage there lives a girl
G Bb
Who's crying for she can see
C F6
Soldiers marching away to war
G Bb A7
They're fighting to be free
Chorus:
D A7 G
Maria Elena I'm going away to war
F C G G7
I'm going to fight I may not be back again
D A7 G
Maria Elena I love you forever more
F C G
Please say it's alright you'll stay by my side 'till dawn
I remember moonlit nights
And dancing in the streets 'till break of day
Yes I remember how it was
No one would separate us come what may
Like a dream it dissolves away
And morning will soon be here
Revolution has come our way
I'm warning you now dear
Chorus (2X fading on 2nd)
