Intro: A D 

          A                      D 
Been on a barbed wire highway 40 days and nights 
                       A                     D 
I ain't complain'n and that's my job and it suits me right 
         A                        D 
I got a sweet soul fever rushin' around my head 
           A               D 
I'm gonna sleep tonight in Maria's bed 
    A                 D 
Hey Hey, Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na... 

         A                   D 
Got on a dead man's suit and smilin' skull ring 
      A                     D 
Lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing 
          A                             D 
I keep my heart in my work, my troubles in my head 
         A            D 
And I keep my soul in Maria's bed 

    A                              D 
Hey Hey, Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na... 
    A                              D 
Hey Hey, Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na... 


          A                             D 
I been up on sugar mountain, 'cross the sweet blue sea 
                       A                  D 
I walked the valley of love and tears and mystery 
      A                         D 
I got run out'a luck and gave myself up for dead 
                 A                         D 
Then I drank the cool clear waters from Maria's bed 


    A                              D 
Hey Hey, Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na... 
    A                              D 
Hey Hey, Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na... 


              F#m                       D 
She give me candy stick kisses 'neath a wolf dog moon 
                            A                        Asus2 
One sweet breath and she'll take you, mister, to the upper room 
      F#m                        D        A 
I was burned by the angels, sold wings of lead 
                                                        E 
Then I fell in the roses and sweet salvation of Maria's bed 

       A                  D 
I been out in the desert, doin' my time 
                    A                            D 
Siftin' through the dust for fools gold, lookin' for a sign 
                A                           D 
Holy man said, "Hold on, brother, there's a light up ahead." 
                       A                          D 
Ain't nothin' like the light that shines on me in Maria's bed 
        A                        D 
Well I take my blessings at the riverhead 
    A                      E      A 
I'm living in the light of Maria's bed 

         A                         D 
Hey Hey, Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na...
