Intro:

Eb E F    Eb E F


Verse 1:

C         B    Bb                 F
After all the jacks are in their boxes
C              B    Bb          F
And the clowns have all gone to bed
C                 B     Bb            F
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
G         Bb         Eb E F
Footsteps dressed in red...
G       Bb            Eb E F   Eb E F
And the wind whispers Mary....


Verse 2:


C        B   Bb       F
A broom is drearily sweeping
C                 B      Bb          F
Up the broken peices of yesterday's life
C        B   Bb       F
Somewhere a queen is weeping
G           Bb          Eb E F
Somewhere a king has no wife...
G            Bb    Eb E F   Eb E F
And the wind cries Mary....


[Instrumental Break]

G  Bb  C#  F


Verse 3:

C                 B     Bb     F
The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow
C                B      Bb         F
And shine the emptyness down on my bed
C            B   Bb   F
The tiny island sags downstream
G                   Bb       Eb E F
Cause the life that lived is dead...
G           Bb       Eb E F   Eb E F
And the wind screams Mary....


Verse 4:

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