VERSE 1
Am Ab F
There was no one nothing to see
Am Ab F
The night is useless and so are we
C Bb
Cause everybody knows
Am Ab F G
The fabric of folly is fallen apart at the seams
CHORUS
Am C
And I've been lookin' for a good time
Am Ab G
But the pleasures are seldom and few
VERSE 2
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/beck/o_maria_crd.html ]
Am Ab F
There's no whiskey there's no wine
Am Ab F
Just the concrete and a worried mind
C Bb
'cause everybody knows
Am Ab F G
Death creeps in slow 'til you feel safe in his arms
CHORUS
Am C
And I've been lookin' for a new friend
Am Ab G
And I don't care if he's decrepit and gray
VERSE 3
Am Ab F
O maria haven't you known
Am Ab F
Days so careless all on your own
C Bb
'cause everybody knows
Am Ab F G
The circus is closed and the animals have gone wild
CHORUS
Am C
And I've been lookin' for my shadow
Am Ab G
But this place is so bright and so clean
