Verse:
     D MajorD
Said her name was marie
            G+G
From the banks of the lee
     B minorBm               A augmentedA
With the prettiest eyes my own had ever seen
   D MajorD
Her hair like ripples
           G+G
They danced with the tide
    D MajorD           A augmentedA    D MajorD
As our hearts washed away to the sea
     D MajorD          G+G
Was she sent down from the heavens above
   D MajorD             B minorBm
Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love
    D MajorD              G+G
Now the devil is courtin' a different tune
     D MajorD         A augmentedA      D MajorD
And I laugh as the tears wash the rain

Chorus:

Tell me why no one's listenin?
    A augmentedA          D MajorD
Is there nothing at all left to say
    G+G          D MajorD
In a world so unforgiving
      A augmentedA           B minorBm
You mean more to me each every day
G+G       D MajorD    A augmentedA        D MajorD
So may the living be dead in our wake

D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD

Verse:
    D MajorD                         G+G
One cold winters night behind the clouds stars did hide
    B minorBm                    A augmentedA
And the ghost of our souls thanking Christ we're alive
   D MajorD                 G+G
Our spirits they crackled with lovers first sight
    D MajorD        A augmentedA         D MajorD
Till the mornin' came fresh with a new
    D MajorD    G+G
Will you dance with me now heavens child sang the clown
    D MajorD    B minorBm
We've nothing left to lose but your wings and my frown
    D MajorD                 G+G
Where over the hills where the valleys will ring
    D MajorD     A augmentedA      D MajorD
To the sound of our love singin' true

Chorus:
    G+G        D MajorD
Tell me why no one's listenin?
    A augmentedA          D MajorD
Is there nothing at all left to say
    G+G          D MajorD
In a world so unforgiving
      A augmentedA           B minorBm
You mean more to me each every day
G+G       D MajorD    A augmentedA        D MajorD
So may the living be dead in our wake

Verse:
    B minorBm       A augmentedA
But the summer sun is melting now
    G+G          D MajorD
With the leaves i'll soon be gone
         D MajorD          A augmentedA
Will you have the strength when the emptiness
     G+G
Shadows fall
    B minorBm       A augmentedA
Or will your aching heart be ripped apart
G+G    D MajorD
By the beating from the storm
D MajorD    A augmentedA    G+G
Or will howling gales like yesterdays be gone
A augmentedA
Yeah be gone... be gone
