[Verse 1]
C Bb F Fsus4 F
After all the jacks are all up in their boxes
C Bb F Fsus4 F
And the clowns have all gone to bed
C Bb F Fsus4 F
You can hear happiness staggering down the street
G Bb Eb E F
Oh, the footprints are all dressed in red
G Bb Eb E F Eb E F
And the wind whispers Mary
 
[Verse 2]
C Bb F Fsus4 F
A broom is drearily sweeping
C Bb F Fsus4 F
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
C Bb F Fsus4 F
Somewhere a queen, she is weeping
G Bb Eb E F
Somewhere, a king has no wife
G Bb Eb E F Eb E F
And the wind, it cries Mary

[Verse 3]
C Bb F Fsus4 F
The traffic lights, they turn blue tomorrow
C Bb F Fsus4 F
Shine their emptiness right down upon my bed
C Bb F Fsus4 F
And the tiny island sags on downstream
G Bb Eb E F
All the life once lived is now dead
G Bb Eb E F Eb E F
And the wind screams Mary
 
[Verse 4]
C Bb F Fsus4 F
Will the wind ever remember
C Bb F Fsus4 F
The names it has blown in the past?
C Bb F Fsus4 F
With its crutch, and its old age, and its wisdom
G Bb Eb E F
Oh, it whispers no, this will be the last
G Bb Eb E F Eb E F Eb E F Eb E F
And the wind cries Mary
