[Intro]
D G Bm A
D G D A D
[Verse]
D
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 to me 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
[Chorus]
G D
Tell me why no one's listenin'
A D
Is there nothing at all left to say
G D
In a world so unforgiving
A Bm
You mean more to me each every day
G D A D
So may the living be dead in our wake
D G D A D
[Verse]
D G
One cold winter's night behind the clouds stars did hide
Bm A
And the ghost of our souls thanking Christ we're alive
D G
Our spirits they crackled with lovers' first sight
D A D
Till the mornin' came fresh with a new
D G
Will you dance with me now, heaven's 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
D A D
To the sound of our love singin' true
[Chorus]
G D
Tell me why no one's listenin'
A D
Is there nothing at all left to say
G D
In a world so unforgiving
A Bm
You mean more to me each every day
G D A D
So may the living be dead in our wake
[Bridge]
D G Bm A
D G D A D
[Verse]
Bm A
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
D G Bm A
D G D A D
D G
Was she sent down to me 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
[Chorus]
G D
Tell me why no one's listenin'
A D
Is there nothing at all left to say
G D
In a world so unforgiving
A Bm
You mean more to me each every day
G D A D
So may the living be dead in our wake
G D
Tell me why no one's listenin'
A D
Is there nothing at all left to say
G D
In a world so unforgiving
A Bm
You mean more to me each every day
G D A D
So may the living be dead in our wake
[Outro]
D G Bm A
