Said her name was marie
G
From the banks of the lee
Bm A
With the prettiest eyes my own had ever seen
D
Her hair like ripples
G
They danced with the tide
D A D
As our hearts washed away to the sea
D G
Was she sent down from the heavens above
D Bm
Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love
D G
Now the devil is courtin' a different tune
D A D
And I laugh as the tears wash the rain
G D
Tell me why no one`s listenin?
A D
Is there nothing at all left to say

In a world so unforgiving

You mean more to me each every day
G D A D
So may the living be dead in our wake

And the ghost of our souls thanking Christ we're alive

Our spirits they crackled with lovers first sight

Till the mornin' came fresh with a new
D G
Will you dance with me now heavens child sang the clown
D Bm
We`ve nothing left to lose but your wings and my frown
D G
Where over the hills where the valleys will ring

To the sound of our love singin' true

Tell me why no one`s listenin?

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