[Verse 1]
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
Footprints dressed in red
G Bb Eb E F Eb/G E/G# F/A
And the wind whispers Mary
[Verse 2]
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 Eb E F Eb/G E/G# F/A
And the wind it cries Mary

[Verse 3]
C B Bb F
The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow
C B Bb F
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
C B Bb F
The tiny island sags downstream
G Bb Eb E F
Cause the life that they lived is dead
G Bb Eb E F Eb/G E/G# F/A
And the wind screams Mary
[Verse 4]
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
And with this crutch, its old age, and its wisdom
G Bb Eb E F
It whispers “No, this will be the last”
G Bb Eb E F Eb/G E/G# F/A
And the wind cries Mary
