G      C          G
Sweet Jesus, please help Maria
     C              D             G
I tried holy water and I tried tequila
     C                D             G             C
Her skin is turning green, she's becoming more obscene
     G                D                G      D
And now she sticks a crucifix up her vagina, yeah

     G      C                 G
And Maria thinks it's all so funny
          C       D             G    D
All the while I know it's blasphemy
             C             D           G               C
She's been pissin' on my floor, shes becoming such a whore
    G                  D                     G      D
But I can't hate the bitch 'cause she's my honey, yeah


[Bridge]
                  C                  G
But if she don't turn, she's gonna burn
     D                                         G
Down in the flames of hell where they'll be weeping
              C                  G
'Cause its a sin, she let that dammed thing in
        D                                          D7
And I swear she's sneaking out at night while the rest of us are sleeping


[Chorus]
            G                                     C
I've been praying all night long and I've been singing Christian songs
  C               D                G   D
Something has possessed my lovely wife
           G                             Em
There's something standing close in the dark, it ain't a ghost
       C      D                 G
It's Maria, trying to take my life


[Verse 2]
      G     C               G
Now Maria vomits and she swears
           C                      D                G     D
And it's creepy how she comes crawling down the stairs
     C                  D                  G              C
Her head is spinning 'round, she's been writhing on the ground
     G                   D           G     D
It breaks my heart, it causes many tears


[Bridge]
                   C                G
But if she don't turn, she's gonna burn
     D                                         G
Down in the flames of hell where they'll be weeping
              C                 G
'Cause its a sin, she let that dammed thing in
        D                                          D7
And I swear she's sneaking out at night while the rest of us are sleeping


[Chorus]
            G                                     C
I've been praying all night long and I've been singing Christian songs
  C               D                G   D
Something has possessed my lovely wife
           G                             Em
There's something standing close in the dark, it ain't a ghost
       C      D                 G
It's Maria, trying to take my life

Here we go!

[Verse 3]
     G                C                 G
I think she might be going straight to hell
        C                 D          G    D
'Cause down the steps my poor Maria fell
   C                 D         G                C
I gave that girl a shove, I pushed with all my love
      G               D               G     D
And where I hid the body I'll never tell


[Bridge 2]
            C                 G
She didn't turn, she's gonna burn
      D                                       G
Down in the flames of hell where they'll be weeping

'Cause it's a sin, she let that dammed thing in

Something has possessed my lovely wife
     G                        C               G
She had no self control, may God forgive her soul
       C         D             G
'Cause I had to take Maria's life
       C         D             G
'Cause I had to take Maria's life
       C         D             G
'Cause I had to take Maria's life
