Verse (same riff as intro)

A5                                                   D5  
  She smashed the radio with the board of education 
A5                                                   D5 C#5 A5 E5  
  Turn up the static left of the state of the nation

Pre-Chorus
E                                    D5 C#5 A5 E5  
  Turn up the flame, step on the gas
  Burning the flag at half mast
  She's rebel's forgotten son
E
  An export of the revolution

Verse 2: (lyrics)

She is the first voice of the last ones in the line
She'll drag the lake to keep the vendetta alive

Pre-Chorus 2: (lyrics)

Bring in the head of the government
The dog ate the document
Somebody shot the president
And no one knows where Maria went?

Chorus:
  D    A        D  A      D   A                E
Mar -i -a, Mar -i -a, Mar -i -a, where did you go?
