F# EAfter all the jacks are in their
Bboxes
F# E BAnd the clowns have all gone to bed
F# EYou can hear happiness staggering
B on down the street
C# E A A# BFootsteps dressed in red
C# E A A# B A A# BAnd the wind whispers Mary
F# E BA broom is drearily sweeping
F# EUp the broken peices of
Byesterday's life
F# E BSomewhere a queen is weeping
C# E A A# BSomewhere a king has no wife
C# E A A# B A A# BAnd the wind cries Mary
E G B
F# EThe traffic lights turn blue
Btomorrow
F# EAnd shine the emptyness down on my
Bbed
F# E BThe tiny island sags downstream
C# E A A# BCause the life that lived is dead
C# E A A# B A A# BAnd the wind screams Mary
F# E BWill the wind ever remember
F# E BThe names it has blown in the past
F# EWith its crutch, its old age, and
B its wisdom
C# EIt whispers no, this will be the
A A# Blast
C# E A A# B AAnd the wind cries Mary
