The Wind Cries Mary
EbEF Eb/GE/G#F/A
|: | :|
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 EbEF Eb/GE/G#F/A
|
And the wind whispers Mary
C B Bb F
A broom is drearily sweeping
C B Bb F
Up the broken pieces 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 EbEF Eb/GE/G#F/A
|
And the wind cries Mary
Solo Time (Same chord progression as the verses)
C B Bb F
The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow
C B Bb F
And shine the emptiness 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 EbEF Eb/GE/G#F/A
|
And the wind screams Mary
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 EbEF Eb/GE/G#F/A
|
And the wind cries Mary
EbEF Eb/GE/G#F/A
