A GAfter all the jacks are in their
Dboxes
A G DAnd the clowns have all gone to bed
A GYou can hear happiness staggering
D on down the street
E G C C# DFootsteps dressed in red
E G C C# D C C# DAnd the wind whispers Mary
A G DA broom is drearily sweeping
A GUp the broken peices of
Dyesterday's life
A G DSomewhere a queen is weeping
E G C C# DSomewhere a king has no wife
E G C C# D C C# DAnd the wind cries Mary
G A# D
A GThe traffic lights turn blue
Dtomorrow
A GAnd shine the emptyness down on my
Dbed
A G DThe tiny island sags downstream
E G C C# DCause the life that lived is dead
E G C C# D C C# DAnd the wind screams Mary
A G DWill the wind ever remember
A G DThe names it has blown in the past
A GWith its crutch, its old age, and
D its wisdom
E GIt whispers no, this will be the
C C# Dlast
E G C C# D CAnd the wind cries Mary
