  			verse 1 
G                                   C 
Sun rise, this is the last day that I'll ever see 
                             G 
Out in the courtyard they're ready for me 
      D                     G 
But I go to my Lord with no fear 
         D                    G   G 
'Cause I did what I did for Maria 

verse 2 
     D                       G 
As I rode into town with the sun going down 
        D                             G 
All the windows were barred there was no-one around 
         D                          G 
For they knew that I'd come with my hand on my gun 
      D                        G      D                   G 
And revenge in my heart for Maria, my dearest departed Maria 

 
        D                    G 
Take an eye for an eye and a life for a life 
        D                     G 
And somebody must die for the death of my wife 
       D                    G 
Yes, I did what I did for Maria 
  D                    G    G 
I did what I did for Maria 

verse 3 
G                               C 
Laughter echoed across from the end of the street 
                        G 
There was the man I was burning to meet 
       D                       G 
And my mind was so calm and so clear 
     D                     G 
As I took my revenge for Maria 

verse 4  
       D                           G 
And he fell to the ground, raisin' dust all around 
      D                       G 
But I knew he was dead long before he went down 
       D                            G 
It was quick it, was clean, made it easy on him 
         D                      G 
Which is more than he did for Maria 
        D                    G 
When he did what he did to Maria 

 
        D                    G 
Take an eye for an eye and a life for a life 
        D                     G 
And somebody must die for the death of my wife 
       D                    G 
Yes, I did what I did for Maria 
  D                    G   D G D G  G 
I did what I did for Maria

I did what I did for Maria
