"The Wind Cries Mary" by Jimmy Hendrix

[C]After all the [Bb]jacks are in their [F*]boxes
[C]And the [Bb]clowns have all gone to [F]bed
[C]You can hear happiness [Bb]staggering on [F]down the street
[G]Footsteps [Bb]dressed in [Eb]red [E] [F]
[G]And the wind [Bb]whispers [Eb]Mary [E] [F] [Eb] [E] [F]

[C]A broom is [Bb]drearily [F]sweeping
[C]Up the broken [Bb]pieces of yesterday's [F]life
[C]Somewhere a [Bb]queen is [F]weeping
[G]Somewhere a [Bb]king has no [Eb]wife [E] [F]
[G]And the [Bb]wind cries [Eb]Mary [E] [F] [Eb] [E] [F]

[C]The traffic light turn [Bb]blue to[F]morrow
[C]And shine the emptiness [Bb]down on my [F]bed
[C]The tiny island [Bb]sags [F]downstream
[G]'Cause the life that [Bb]lived is [Eb]dead [E] [F]
[G]And the [Bb]wind screams [Eb]Mary [E] [F] [Eb] [E] [F]

[C]Will the wind [Bb]ever remember [F]
[C]The name it has [Bb]blown in the past [F]
[C]With its scratch, its old a[Bb]ge and its wisdom [F]
[G]It whispers no, this [Bb]will be the [Eb]last [E] [F]
[G]And the [Bb]wind Cries [Eb]Mary [E] [F] [Eb] [E] [F]
