[Intro]
G Bm Bbm Am
C D
[Verse 1]
G Bm Bbm
We were 16 years old
Am C D
She wore flowers in her hair
G Bm Bbm
She said the night, it’s getting cold
Am C D
‘Neath the stars at the county fair
G Bm Bbm
You know the days seemed to come and go
Am C D
But the nights could not compare
G Bm Bbm
And I never seemed to know
Am C
What’s hidden in her stare
[Chorus]
Am
When the night falls
C
I fall back on sweet Maria
G
And her voice calls out to me
D
This is where I want to be
Am
And her choice stalls
C
Memory is growing sweeter
G
We go dancing in the night
D
Just me and sweet Maria
[Verse 2]
G Bm Bbm
You know the night was getting cold
Am C D
While she swayed beneath the stars
G Bm Bbm
I laid her down on a field of gold
Am C D
And I held her in my arms
G Bm Bbm
When we touched, I could feel her soul
Am C D
And that’s the night she stole my heart
G Bm Bbm
In forty years we’ll be grey and old
Am C
But we’ll still be dancing in the dark
[Chorus]
Am
When the night falls
C
I fall back on sweet Maria
G
And her voice calls out to me
D
This is where I want to be
Am
And her choice stalls
C
Memory is growing sweeter
G
We go dancing in the night
D
Just me and sweet Maria
[Chorus]
Am
When the night falls
C
I fall back on sweet Maria
G
And her voice calls out to me
D
This is where I want to be
Am
And her choice stalls
C
Memory is growing sweeter
G
We go dancing in the night
D
Just me and sweet Maria
