 |:  Eb    E  F     Eb   E  F :| 
 
 
C             Bb                 F 
After all the jacks are in their boxes 
C                   Bb          F 
And the clowns have all gone to bed 
C                      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 
 
 
C          Bb       F 
A broom is drearily sweeping 
C                       Bb          F 
Up the broken peices of yesterday's life 
C           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 
 
 
SOLO  |: F  Eb  Bb  Ab :| 3x    G  Bb  Db  F 
 
 
C                       Bb     F 
The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow 
C                       Bb         F 
And shine the emptyness down on my bed 
C               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 
 
 
C             Bb     F 
Will the wind ever remember 
C                Bb           F 
The names it has blown in the past 
C                        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
