[Intro]

G C G C

G C

Ave Maria I sat down by your fountain

G C

And I wept one April day for a girl

Who didn't want me anymore

G C G C

[Verse 1]

G C

Ave Maria I walked by your canal

G

And I saw an alligator while I contemplated

C

My life falling apart

G C

I went to your oratory to hear her lovely voice

G

From the choir though she vanished when

C

The Mass was scarcely over

[Chorus 1]

G

There's nowhere to go

D C

When you're surrounded by emptiness

G D C

Tomato fields and loneliness

G

I'd nowhere to turn to

D C

My love was of no consequence

G D C

Our past was all irrelevant

[Verse 2]

G

Ave Maria

I drank bitter wine

C

Outside of your cafes

G C

While I waited vainly for my phone to ring

G C

She found me in the library the night that I last saw her

G

And we drove a little while

C

On the stretch of road to Immokalee

[Chorus 2]

G

There's nowhere to go

D C

When you're surrounded by emptiness

G D C

Tomato fields and loneliness

G

I'd nowhere to turn to

D C

No one cared about my sentiment

G D C

Our plans became irrelevant

[Instrumental]

D C G C D C G C D C G D C

G

There's nowhere to go

D C

When you're surrounded by emptiness

G D C

A stranger on the campus

G

I'd nowhere to turn to

D C

It was my life's great tragedy

G D C

She was already over me

[Outro]

G

Ave Maria

I remember my grief

Shuffling down your streets

C

Under your palm trees

G

Ave Maria you will always be a wound

Gm

Because a girl there I once knew

C

Threw my love away

C
