[Verse]
              Bb                 F    
After all the jacks are in their boxes
    C   C7          Bb       F     
And the clowns have all gone to bed
        C             
You can hear happiness
Bb            F              
Staggering on down the street
G          Bb            
Footprints dressed in red
F         G    Bb      
■ And the wind whispers
F    C7         Bb       F       
Mary A broom is drearily sweeping
       C            
Up the broken pieces
   Bb          F   
Of yesterday's life


[Chorus]
C           Bb       F      
Somewhere a queen is weeping
G           Bb               F
Somewhere A king has no wife ■
        G       Bb   
And the wind it cries
F E F Bb Bb7 F Eb Bb

[Verse]
C                       Bb             F       
Mary 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  
'cause the life that lived is dead
F         G    Bb     
■ And the wind screams
F E F C

[Chorus]
                   Bb   F       
Mary Will the wind ever remember
C                      Bb     F   
The names it has blown in the past
C                   
And with this crutch
        Bb          F     
Its old age and its wisdom
   G                        Bb      
It whispers No this will be the last
             Bb   
And the wind cries
Bb  
Mary
