The Wind Cries Mary    

Eb E F x4

C  Bb  F            After all the jacks are in their boxes

C  Bb  F            And the clowns have all gone to bed

C  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  And the wind whispers Mary

C  Bb  F            A broom is drearily sweeping

C  Bb  F            Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life

C  Bb  F            Somewhere a Queen is weeping

G  Bb  Eb E  F  Somewhere a King has no wife

G  Bb  Eb E  F  And the wind it cries Mary

{F   Eb  } {Bb  Ab  } x3

{G} {Bb}

{Db} {F} {F}

C  Bb  F            The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow

C  Bb  F            And shine their emptiness    down on my bed

C  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  And the wind screams Mary

C  Bb  F            Will the wind ever remember

C  Bb  F            The names it has blown in the past

C  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  And the wind cries Mary

Eb E F x4
