Wind Cries Mary Cifras

[Intro]
 
Eb E F 4x
 
[Verse 1]
 
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
Footprints dress in red
 
Eb E F
 
[Chorus]
 
G            Bb       Eb E F
And the wind whispers Mary
 
[Verse 2]
 
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
 
[Chorus]
 
G           Bb     Eb E F
And the wind cries Mary
 
[Verse 3]
 
C                  Bb        F
The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow
C                Bb              F
Shine their emptiness down on my bed
C              Bb         F
The tiny island that sags downstream
G                  Bb              Eb E F
'Cos the life that they lived is dead
 
[Chorus]
 
G            Bb      Eb E F
And the wind screams Mary
 
[Guitar Solo]
 
Eb E F 4x
 
[Verse 4]
 
C         Bb       F
Will the wind ever remember?
C            Bb              F
The names it has blown in the past
C                Bb               F
With this crutch, it's old age it's wisdom
G               Bb                 Eb E F
It whispers, "No, this will be the last."
 
[Chorus]
G            Bb    Eb E F
And the wind cries Mary!
