Capo 4th fret

[VERSE 1]

She [F/C] climbsx a tree and [C7] scrapesx her knee, her [F/C] dressx has got a [C7] tearx
She [F/C] waltzesx on her [C7] wayx to mass and [F/C] whistlesx on the [C7] stairx
And [Dm] underneathx her wimple, she has [Bbm7] curlersx in her hair
I [F/C] evenx heard her [Dm] singingx in the [Gm7] ab--x [C] beyx

[VERSE 2]

She's [F/C] alwaysx late for [C7] chapel,x but her [F/C] penitencex is [C7] realx
She's [F/C] alwaysx late for [C7] everything,x ex[F/C]ceptx for every [C7] mealx
I [Dm] hatex to have to say it, but I [Bbm7] veryxx firmly feel
Ma[F/C]ria'sx not an [Dm] assetx to the [Gm7] ab--x [C] beyx

[PRE-CHORUS]

I'd [Dm] likex to say a word in her be[C7]halfx
Ma[Dm]riax [Gm7] makesx me [C7] laughx

[CHORUS 1]

[F/C]Howxx do you solve a [F] problemx like [C7] Maria?x
[F/C] Howxx do you catch a [F] cloudx and pin it [C7] down?x
[F] Howx do you find the [Am/C] wordxx that means [Bb] Maria?x
A [G] flibbertijibbet,x a [Bbm7] will-o'-thex wisp, a [C7] clownx

[F/C] Manyx a thing you [F] knowx you'd like to [C7] tellx her
[F/C]Manyx a thing she [F] oughtx to under[Gm]standx
But [Fm/C] howxxx do you make her stay and [C7] listenx to all you say?
[Fm]Howx do you keep a wave upon the [C7] sand?x

Oh, [F/C] howxx do you solve a [F] problemx like [Gm] Maria?x
[F] Howx do you hold a [Csus4] moonbeam,x [C7] inxx your [F] hand?x

[Bridge 1] (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

[BRIDGE 2]

She'd out [Bbsus] pesterx any [Bb] pest,x drive a [Bbsus] hornetx from its [Bb] nestx
She could [Bbsus] throwxx a whirling [Bb] dervishx out of [Bbsus] whirlxx [Bb] xxxx
She is [Fsus] gentle,x she is [F] wild,x she's a [Fsus] riddle,x she's a [F] childx
She's a [Gm7] headache,x she's an [Gm7] angel,x she's a [C7] girlx

[CHORUS 2]

[F/C]Howxx do you solve a [F] problemx like [C7] Maria?x
[F/C] Howxx do you catch a [F] cloudx and pin it [C7] down?x
[F] Howx do you find the [Am/C] wordxx that means [Bb] Maria?x
A [G] flibbertijibbet,x a [Bbm7] will-o'-thex wisp, a [C7] clownx

[F/C] Manyx a thing you [F] knowx you'd like to [C7] tellx her
[F/C]Manyx a thing she [F] oughtx to under[Gm]standx
But [Fm/C] howxxx do you make her stay and [C7] listenx to all you say?
[Fm]Howx do you keep a wave upon the [C7] sand?x

Oh, [F/C] howxx do you solve a [F] problemx like [Gm] Maria?x
[F] Howx do you hold a [Csus4] moonbeam,x [C7] inxx your [F] hand?x
