Am C
Pablo Escavado took Maria for his bride
Dm F
Dead of winter 1885
Am C
A bitter snow was falling as a dozen ragged men
Dm F
Surrounded the little chapel, trapping Pablo in
They called out ?Surrender or we?ll burn the whole place down.?
F G
She heard him, calling to her
F C
?Sweet Maria, can you hear me??
G Am
Muffled echoes up and down the frozen canyon walls
F C
?Maria, how I love you.?
G Dm
Till the lonesome sound had nowhere else to go
Dm C Am C Dm F
And it was swallowed in the January snow
Silence fell the solemn priest said ?God will avenge my child?
