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)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/green_day/maria_tab.html ]
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?

Drawing the line in the dirt Be-
