	B	A	E
	After all the	jacks are in their	boxes

	B	A	E
And the	clowns have	all gone to	bed

	B	A	E
You can hear	happiness	staggering on	down the street

	F#	A	D	D#	E
	Footsteps	dressed in	red

	F#	A	C	C#	D	- - -	C	C#	D
And the	wind	whispers	Mar	y

	B	A	E
A	broom is	drearily	sweeping

	B	A	E
	Up the broken	pieces of yesterday's	life

	B	A	E
	Somewhere a	queen is	weeping

	F#	A	D	D#	E
	Somewhere a	king has no	wif	e

	F#	A	D	D#	E	- - -	D	D#	E
And the	wind	cries	Mar	y

	B	A	E
	The traffic lights turn	blue to	morrow

	B	A	E
	And shine the	emptyness down on my	bed.

	B	A	E
	The tiny island	sags	downstream

	F#	A	D	D#	E
'	Cause the life that	lived is	dea	d.

	F#	A	D	D#	E	- - -	D	D#	E
And the	wind	screams	Mar	y

	B	A	E
	Will the wind	ever re	member

	B	A	E
The	names it has	blown in the	past.

	B	A	E
With it's	crutch, it's	old age, and it's	wisdom,

	F#	A	D	D#	E
It whispers	no, this will	be the	las	t.
