Capo 3rd fret

[Verse 1]
  FF         C majorC           FF        C7C7
She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee, her dress has got a tear
  FF       C majorC        FF        C7C7
She waltzes on her way to mass and whistles on the stair
  DmDm               BbM7Bbm7
And underneath her wimple, she has curlers in her hair
 Gm7Gm7              C7C7
I even heard her singing in the abbey


[Verse 2]
   FF        C majorC        FF      C7C7
She's always late for chapel, but her penitence is real
   FF        C majorC       FF       C7C7
She's always late for everything, except for every meal
 DmDm              BbM7Bbm7
I hate to have to say it, but I very firmly feel
 Gm7Gm7            C7C7
Maria's not an asset to the abbey


[Pre-Chorus]
  DmDm             C7C7
I'd like to say a word in her behalf
 DmDm Gm7Gm7   C7C7
Maria makes me laugh


[Chorus]
FF                C7C7
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
FF                  C7C7
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
FF                  Bb majorBb
How do you find the word that means Maria?
 G+G         BbM7Bbm7        C7C7
A augmentedA flibbertijibbet, a will-o'-the wisp, a clown

FF                  C7C7
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
FF               G minorGm
Many a thing she ought to understand
  F minorFm              C7C7
But how do you make her stay and listen to all you say?
F minorFm               C7C7
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?


  FF                G minorGm
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
Gmaj7Gmaj7       C7C7        FF
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]
     FF     C7C7      FF        C7C7
She'd out pester any pest, drive a hornet from its nest
     FF        C7C7       FF
She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
    G minorGm       G minorGm      G minorGm       G minorGm
She is gentle, she is wild, she's a riddle, she's a child
    A7A7         A7A7       C7C7
She's a headache, she's an angel, she's a girl


[Chorus]
FF                C7C7
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
FF                  C7C7
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
FF                  Bb majorBb
How do you find the word that means Maria?
 G+G         BbM7Bbm7        C7C7
A augmentedA flibbertijibbet, a will-o'-the wisp, a clown


FF                  C7C7
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
FF               G minorGm
Many a thing she ought to understand
  F minorFm              C7C7
But how do you make her stay and listen to all you say?
F minorFm               C7C7
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?


  FF                G minorGm
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
                  FF
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
