[Intro]
C  C
 
[Verse]
    C
If you've never seen an Atlantic sunrise
          F
Then the sunset over Isle of Wight
       C
Never crossed the Bay Bridge with the windows down
 F        G
Salt air blowing all around
 
       C
Never heard of Assawoman or Sus quehanna
       F
Got a Maryland tattoo with matching pajamas
        G
Let me shed a little light so you can recognize
        F                    G
Why us Free State folks have so much pride
 
 
[Chorus]
        C
It's a Maryland thing, you wouldn't understand
        F
We can talk about it over Natty Boh cans
         G
Picking crabs on the porch on a hot summer night
 F                      G
Tucked underneath that Mason Dixon Line
 
        C
It's a Maryland thing
      F
Hell yeah (you just wouldn't understand)
 
        C
It's a Maryland thing
      F
Hell yeah
 
 
[Verse]
           C
Catch the Ravens at the Bank or the Birds in the Yard
           F
While ole Fort McHenry still standing guard
          C
Watch an osprey fly across an Assateague sky
 F                   G
Wild ponies shaking off horseflies
 
         C
Sail my boat up the Chesapeake Bay
   F
Salute our midshipmenalong the way
          G
When the work's all done and the weekend comes
          F              G
You damn right we going down the Ocean Hooooooon
 
 
[Chorus]
        C
It's a Maryland thing, you wouldn't understand
        F
We can talk about it where the waves meet the sand
          G
Crushing Crushes on the dock at a Harbor side bar
     F                      G
Day drinking in the sun or underneath the stars
 
        C
It's a Maryland thing
      F
Hell yeah (you just wouldn't understand)
 
        C
It's a Maryland thing
      F
Hell yeah
 
 
[Instrumental/Solo]
C  F  C  F
 
 
[Break]
              G
We place our hands on our hearts and we stand up tall
       C
Shout OOOOOOOOO'S
 
 C             F             Dm         G
Say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave
 
 
[Chorus]
             C
Son, It's a Maryland thing, you wouldn't understand
     F
But Francis Scott Key was from Frederick man
         G
You can find us wherever you roam
          F                   G
We'll be wearing our flag to make sure you know
 
        C
It's a Maryland thing
      F
Hell yeah (we put Old Bay on everything)
 
        C
It's a Maryland thing
      F
Hell yeah (crabcakes and football it's what we do)
 
        C
It's a Maryland thing
      F
Hell yeah (get you some scrapple and pit beef)
 
        C
It's a Maryland thing
      F
Hell yeah (Berger cookies and snow cones)
 
        C
It's a Maryland thing (Utz chips)
      F

        C
It's a Maryland thing
      F
