Maria Bethânia

Everybody knows that our cities were built to be destroyed
Everybody knows that our cities were built to be destroyed

You get annoyed, you buy a flat
You hide behind the mat

But I know she was born to do everything wrong with all of that
But I know she was [Am7]born to [C7]do everything wrong [Am]with all [Em]of that

Maria Bethania, please send me a letter
I wish to [C7]know things are getting better, better, better

She has given her soul to [C7]the devil but the devil gave his soul to [C7]god
She has given her soul to [C7]the devil but the devil gave his soul to [C7]god

Before the flood, after the blood
Before you [A7can see

She has given her soul to [C7]the devil and [Bm]bought a flat by the sea
She has given her soul to [C7]the devil and [Bm]bought a flat by the sea

Maria Bethania, please send me a letter
I wish to [C7]know things are getting better, better, better

Everybody knows that it's so hard to [C7]dig and [Bm]get to [C7]the ɾoot
Everybody knows that it's so hard to [C7]dig and [Bm]get to [C7]the ɾoot

You eat the fruit, you [A7go ahead
You wake up on [C7]your bed

But I love her face 'cause it has nothing to [C7]do with all [Em]I've said
But I love her face 'cause it has nothing to [C7]do with all [Em]I've said
