Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4
            [Intro]  
                E F F#   E F F# (repeat once)
                
                [Verse]
                C#        B#  B                  F#
                After all the jacks are in their boxes
                C#             B#   B           F#
                And the clowns have all gone to bed
                C#                B#   B             F#
                You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
                G#        B          E F F#
                Footsteps dressed in red
                G#      B             E F F#  E F F#
                And the wind whispers Mary
                C#      B# B        F#
                A broom is drearily sweeping
                C#                   B# B           F#
                Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
                C#       B# B        F#
                Somewhere a queen is weeping
                G#          B           E F F#
                Somewhere a king has no wife
                G#           B     E F F#  E F F#
                And the wind cries Mary
                [Solo]
                 You can strum verse chords as a background
 
 
                [Verse]
                C#                 B#   B      F#
                The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow
                C#                 B#     B          F#
                And shine the emptiness down on my bed
                C#         B#   B    F#
                The tiny island sags downstream
                G#                  B        E F F#
                Cause the life that lived is dead
                G#           B       E F F#  E F F#
                And the wind screams Mary
                C#       B#   B     F#
                Will the wind ever remember
                C#           B#  B            F#
                The names it has blown in the past
                C#                   B#  B            F#
                With its crutch, its old age, and its wisdom
                G#                   B#   B      E F F#
                It whispers no, this will be the last
                G#      B#   B     E F F#  E F F#  
                And the wind cries Mary
                                
                
               [Outro]  
               E F F#  E F F#
