  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)
  
  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?

   (twice w/o lyrics)                Be 
   careful what you're offer-ing    Your 
   breath lacks the conviction -    
   Drawing the line in the dirt     Be-
   cause the last    de-cision   ...is
