Maria Maria Chords & Tabs
"Maria Maria" by Santana
As heard on the cd "Supernatural"
This is my first time trying to tab out a song, so it may be a bit shaky.
Each fill is separated by slashes or a new line. I didn’t bother with the
rhythm; you can figure it out listening to the recording.

That’s the way I play it, anyway. I know some parts are wrong. If you have
comments/suggestions/corrections please email me at rokstar20@hotmail.com
This is about 3 or 4 pages printed, by the way.
