Verse 1:

C majorC     BB  Bb majorBb         FF
After all the jacks are in their boxes
C majorC       BB  Bb majorBb     FF
And the clowns have all gone to bed
C majorC         BB   Bb majorBb      FF
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
G+G     Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb E MajorE FF
Footsteps dressed in red...

And the wind whispers Mary....

C majorC    BB  Bb majorBb    FF
A augmentedA broom is drearily sweeping
C majorC         BB   Bb majorBb     FF
Up the broken peices of yesterday's life
C majorC    BB  Bb majorBb    FF
Somewhere a queen is weeping
G+G      Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb E MajorE FF
Somewhere a king has no wife...

And the wind cries Mary....

The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow
C majorC        BB   Bb majorBb     FF
And shine the emptyness down on my bed
C majorC      BB  Bb majorBb  FF
The tiny island sags downstream
G+G          Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb E MajorE FF
Cause the life that lived is dead...
G+G      Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb E MajorE FF  Eb MajorEb E MajorE FF
And the wind screams Mary....

Will the wind ever remember
C majorC      BB  Bb majorBb      FF
The names it has blown in the past?
C majorC          BB   Bb majorBb      FF
With its crutch, its old age, and its wisdom
G+G             Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb E MajorE FF
It whispers no, this will be the last...
G+G      Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb E MajorE FF  Eb MajorEb E MajorE FF   Eb MajorEb E MajorE FF   Eb MajorEb E MajorE FF
And the wind cries Mary....
