Capo 3rd fret


[Verse 1]
  F         C           F        C7
She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee, her dress has got a tear
  F       C        F        C7
She waltzes on her way to mass and whistles on the stair
  Dm               Bbm7
And underneath her wimple, she has curlers in her hair
 Gm7              C7
I even heard her singing in the abbey


[Verse 2]
   F        C        F      C7
She's always late for chapel, but her penitence is real
   F        C       F       C7
She's always late for everything, except for every meal
 Dm              Bbm7
I hate to have to say it, but I very firmly feel
 Gm7            C7
Maria's not an asset to the abbey


[Pre-Chorus]
  Dm             C7
I'd like to say a word in her behalf
 Dm Gm7   C7
Maria makes me laugh


[Chorus]
F                C7
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
F                  C7
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
F                  Bb
How do you find the word that means Maria?
 G         Bbm7        C7
A flibbertijibbet, a will-o'-the wisp, a clown


F                  C7
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
F               Gm
Many a thing she ought to understand
  Fm              C7
But how do you make her stay and listen to all you say?
Fm               C7
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?


  F                Gm
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
Gmaj7       C7        F
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?


[Verse 3] (a capella)

When I'm with her I'm confused, out of focus and bemused

And I never know exactly where I am

Unpredictable as weather, she's as flighty as a feather

She's a darling, she's a demon, she's a lamb


[Verse 4]
     F     C7      F        C7
She'd out pester any pest, drive a hornet from its nest
     F        C7       F
She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
    Gm       Gm      Gm       Gm
She is gentle, she is wild, she's a riddle, she's a child
    A7         A7       C7
She's a headache, she's an angel, she's a girl


[Chorus]
F                C7
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
F                  C7
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
F                  Bb
How do you find the word that means Maria?
 G         Bbm7        C7
A flibbertijibbet, a will-o'-the wisp, a clown


F                  C7
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
F               Gm
Many a thing she ought to understand
  Fm              C7
But how do you make her stay and listen to all you say?
Fm               C7
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?


  F                Gm
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
                  F
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
