C   Am   C   Am
C   Am   C   Am


[Verse 1]
     C                         Am
It's better to have loved than lost
     F                       C
Than never to have loved I’m told
          C                   Am
But is it better burn to this yong flame
        F                         G
Than to pray for the fire to grow cold


[Chorus]
     C      Am
Oh Maria be kind
     C      Am
Oh Maria be kind
     C      Am         G        C
Oh maria be kind to me one last time


[Verse 2]
   C                         Am
So run with me now threw the tall tall grass
C                       Am
Wait for the sun to get low
C                 Am
Sing to me in you sweetest voice
    F                      G
and dance with me nice and slow


[Chorus]
     C      Am
Oh Maria be kind
     C      Am
Oh Maria be kind
     C      Am         G        C
Oh maria be kind to me one last time


[Verse 3]
         C                       Am
So let’s burn down this town for one more night
     C                      Am
Oh maria you’ve got me till the morning light
  C                        Am
I won’t pitch a fit ??no I wont try to fight ??
F                        G
Caged bird don’t sing so baby take flight


[Chorus]
     C      Am
Oh Maria be kind
     C      Am
Oh Maria be kind
     C      Am         G        C
Oh maria be kind to me one last time
   Am         G        C
Be kind to me one last time
   Am         G        C
Be kind to me one last time
