G             C              G       C 
Maria, you're still wild and restless 
                G      C              D 
And I can just see ya ridin' in a rodeo 
          G    C                G    C 
You might even make it down to Texas 
                   G   D               G  C  G 
Or you might head out west to New Mexico 
 
 
G          C              G        C 
So pack up all of your belongings 
  G             C                       D 
A pick-up will take you where you wanna go 
        G              C                   G      C 
You can ride out when you hear mountains calling 
       G             D               G   C  G 
Out to Canada or the canyons of Colorado 
 
 
D        C                     G   C  G 
New York City was always your home 
D           C                       G   
But in your heart you know you were born to roam 
                  B7                           C 
And you're gonna leave as soon as you get the money 
          G    D               G C G 
After you sell everything you own 
 
 
GUITAR SOLO:

Maria, is loneliness a virtue 
           G                     C             D 
Or does it steal you blind and leave you split apart 
G       C                  G     C 
Maria, can you give me an answer 
        G             D                 G   C  G      
Are the songs we sing worth the broken heart 
 
 
G                C               G     C 
The highway has always been your lover 
    G       C                D    
And someday you may know his name 
 G                C                   G     C 
Wherever you stay it wouldn't really matter 
                 G       D                G   C  G 
'Cause all those cities start to look the same 
 
 
D               C                 G        C  G 
Some folks will try to take your heart away 
D                  C                  G 
And just when you think you've really got it made 
         B7                          C 
You wake up and find madness in the morning 
    G                  D                  G    C G 
But damn the pain and damn those restless days 
G                  D                   G 
Damn the pain and damn those restless days
