The Sound Of Music - Maria

A/E E7 A/E E7 She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee, her dress has got a tear A/E E7 A/E E7 She waltzes on her way to mass and whistles on the stair F#m Dm7 And underneath her wimple, she has curlers in her hair A/E F#m Bm7 E I even heard her singing in the ab--bey A/E E7 A/E E7 She's always late for chapel, but her penitence is real A/E E7 A/E E7 She's always late for everything, except for every meal F#m Dm7 I hate to have to say it, but I very firmly feel A/E F#m Bm7 E Maria's not an asset to the ab--bey F#m E7 I'd like to say a word in her behalf F#m Bm7 E7 Maria makes me laugh A/E A E7 How do you solve a problem like Maria? A/E A E7 How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? A C#m/E D How do you find the word that means Maria? B Dm7 E7 A flibbertijibbet, a will-o'-the wisp, a clown A/E A E7 Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her A/E A Bm Many a thing she ought to understand Am/E E7 But how do you make her stay and listen to all you say? Am E7 How do you keep a wave upon the sand? A/E A Bm Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? A Esus4 E7 A How do you hold a moonbeam, in your hand? (N.C.= no chords) N.C. When I'm with her I'm confused, out of focus and bemused N.C. And I never know exactly where I am N.C. Unpredictable as weather, she's as flighty as a feather N.C. She's a darling, she's a demon, she's a lamb Dsus D Dsus D She'd out pester any pest, drive a hornet from its nest Dsus D Dsus D She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl Asus A Asus A She is gentle, she is wild, she's a riddle, she's a child Bm7 Bm7 E7 She's a headache, she's an angel, she's a girl A/E A E7 How do you solve a problem like Maria? A/E A E7 How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? A C#m/E D How do you find the word that means Maria? B Dm7 E7 A flibbertijibbet, a will-o'-the wisp, a clown A/E A E7 Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her A/E A Bm Many a thing she ought to understand Am/E E7 But how do you make her stay and listen to all you say?
