C Am Em Am Dm Well, the diamond fades quickly when matched to the face of Maria F G F G C All the harps they sound empty when she lifts her lips to the sky C Am Em Am Dm All the brown of her skin makes her hair seem a soft golden rainfall F G F G C That spills from the mountains to the bottomless depths of her eyes [Verse 2] C Am Em Am Dm Well, she stands all around me, her hands slowly sifting the sunshine F G F G C All the laughter that linger down deep 'neath her smilin' is free C Am Em Am Dm Well, it spins and it twirls like a hummingbird lost in the morning F G F G C And caresses the south wind and silently sails to the sea [Verse 3] C Am Em Am Dm Ah, the sculptor stands stricken and the artist he throws 'way his brushes F G F G C When her image comes dancin', the sun she turns sullen with shame C Am Em Am Dm And the birds they go silent, and the wind stops his sad mournful singing F G F G C When the trees of the forest start gently to whisperin' her name [Verse 4] C Am Em Am Dm So as softly she wanders I'll desperately follow her footsteps F G F G C And I'll chase after shadows that offer a trace of her sight C Am Em Am Dm Ah, they promise eternally that she lies hidden within them F G F G C But I find they've deceived me and sadly I bid them goodbye [Verse 5] C Am Em Am Dm So the serpent slides slowly away with his moments of laughter F G F G C And the old washerwoman has finished her cleanin' and gone C Am Em Am Dm But the bamboo hangs heavy in the bondage of quicksilver daydreams F G F G C And a lonely child longingly looks for a place to belong [Outro] C Am Em Am Dm F G F G C
