Marias Bed

A                       D*

          A                      D
Been on a barbed wire highway 40 days and nights
                       A                     D
I ain't complain'n and that's my job and it suits me right
         A                        D
I got a sweet soul fever rushin' around my head
           A               D
I'm gonna sleep tonight in Maria's bed
    A                 D
Hey Hey, Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na...

         A                   D
Got on a dead man's suit and smilin' skull ring
      A                     D
Lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing
          A                             D
I keep my heart in my work, my troubles in my head
         A            D
And I keep my soul in Maria's bed


    A                              D
Hey Hey, Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na...
    A                              D
Hey Hey, Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na...


          A                             D
I been up on sugar mountain, 'cross the sweet blue sea
                       A                  D
I walked the valley of love and tears and mystery
      A                         D
I got run out'a luck and gave myself up for dead
                 A                         D
Then I drank the cool clear waters from Maria's bed


    A                              D
Hey Hey, Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na...
    A                              D
Hey Hey, Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na...



              F#m                       D
She give me candy stick kisses 'neath a wolf dog moon
                            A                        Asus2
One sweet breath and she'll take you, mister, to the upper room
      F#m                        D        A
I was burned by the angels, sold wings of lead
                                                        E
Then I fell in the roses and sweet salvation of Maria's bed


       A                  D
I been out in the desert, doin' my time
                    A                            D
Siftin' through the dust for fools gold, lookin' for a sign
                A                           D
Holy man said, "Hold on, brother, there's a light up ahead."
                       A                          D
Ain't nothin' like the light that shines on me in Maria's bed
        A                        D
Well I take my blessings at the riverhead
    A                      E      A
I'm living in the light of Maria's bed

         A                         D
Hey Hey, Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na...
