Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
After all B#the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns B#have all gone to bed
You can hear happiB#ness staggering on down the street
Footsteps dressed in red
And the wind whispers Mary
A broom B#is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces B#of yesterday's life
SomewhereB# a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind cries Mary
(Solo)
You can strum verse chords as a background
The traffic lights B#turn blue tomorrow
And shine the emptiB#ness down on my bed
The tiny isB#land sags downstream
Cause the life that lived is dead
And the wind screams Mary
Will the B#wind ever remember
The names it B#has blown in the past
With its crutch, its B#old age, and its wisdom
It whispers no, this B#will be the last
And the B#wind cries Mary
