Capo 4th fret
[Verse 1]
She F/Cclimbs a tree and C7scrapes her knee, her F/Cdress has got a C7tear
She F/Cwaltzes on her C7way to mass and F/Cwhistles on the C7stair
And Dmunderneath her wimple, she has Bbm7curlers in her hair
I F/Ceven heard her Dmsinging in the Gm7ab--Cbey
[Verse 2]
She's F/Calways late for C7chapel, but her F/Cpenitence is C7real
She's F/Calways late for C7everything, exF/Ccept for every C7meal
I Dmhate to have to say it, but I Bbm7very firmly feel 
MaF/Cria's not an Dmasset to the Gm7ab--Cbey
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'd Dmlike to say a word in her beC7half
MaDmria Gm7makes me C7laugh
[Chorus 1]
F/CHow do you solve a Fproblem like C7Maria?
F/CHow do you catch a Fcloud and pin it C7down?
FHow do you find the Am/Cword that means BbMaria?
A Gflibbertijibbet, a Bbm7will-o'-the wisp, a C7clown
F/CMany a thing you Fknow you'd like to C7tell her
F/CMany a thing she Fought to underGmstand
But Fm/Chow do you make her stay and C7listen to all you say?
FmHow do you keep a wave upon the C7sand?
Oh, F/Chow do you solve a Fproblem like GmMaria?
FHow do you hold a Csus4moonbeam, C7in your Fhand?
[Bridge 1] (N.C.= no chords)
N.C.
When I'm with her I'm confused, out of focus and bemused
N.C.
And I never know exactly where I am
N.C.
Unpredictable as weather, she's as flighty as a feather
N.C.
She's a darling, she's a demon, she's a lamb
[Bridge 2]
She'd out Bbsuspester any Bbpest, drive a Bbsushornet from its Bbnest
She could Bbsusthrow a whirling Bbdervish out of BbsuswhirlBb  
She is Fsusgentle, she is Fwild, she's a Fsusriddle, she's a Fchild
She's a Gm7headache, she's an Gm7angel, she's a C7girl
[Chorus 2]
F/CHow do you solve a Fproblem like C7Maria?
F/CHow do you catch a Fcloud and pin it C7down?
