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            Eb5 E5 F5
Footprints dressed in red
        G    Bb       Eb5 E5 F5 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          Eb5 E5 F5
Somewhere a King has no wife
        G       Bb    Eb5 E5 F5 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      Eb5 E5 F5 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    Eb5 E5 F5 Eb/G E/G# F/A
And the wind cries Mary
