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?

 (twice w/o lyrics)                Be
 careful what you're offer-ing    Your
 breath lacks the conviction -
 Drawing the line in the dirt     Be-
 cause the last    de-cision   ...is
