The Wind Cries Mary

Intro: Eb E F 2x

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 C Bb F
Footprints dressed in red C Bb Eb E F
And the wind whispers Mary C Bb Eb E F
A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday’s life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind, it cries Mary

LEAD |: F Eb Bb Ab :| 3x G Bb Db F

The traffic lights they turn up blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
‘Cause the life that lived is, is dead
And the wind screams Mary

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past
And with his crutch, it’s old age, and it's wisdom
It whispers no, this will be the last
And the wind cries Mary

Turn The Page

On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha Em
You can listen to the engines D
moanin' Out its one note song
You can think about the woman or the girl A
You knew the night before Em

But your thoughts will soon be wandering Em
The way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours D
And there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like riding A
You just wish the trip was through Em

Chorus:
Here I am, On the road again D Em
There I am, Up on the stage D Em
There I go, Playin' star again D A
There I go, Turn the page C D Em

So you walk into this restaurant Em
Strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you D
As you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you A
But you just want to explode Em

Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk Em
But other times you can
All the same old clichés: D
"Is it woman? Is it man?"
And you always seem outnumbered A
You don't dare make a stand
Make your stand Em

Courus

Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away Em
Every ounce of energy, you try and give away D
As the sweat pours out your body, A
like the music that you play Em

Later in the evenin' as you lie awake in bed Em
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head D
You smoke the day's last cigarette A
Rememberin' what she said Em
What she said

Courus

Simple Man

Mama told me when I was young C G Am
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.

Take your time... dont live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and youll find love,
And dont forget son,
There is someone up above.

(chorus)

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Wont you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich mans gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(chorus)

Boy, dont you worry... youll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

I Shot The Sheriff

I shot the sheriff but I didn't shoot no deputy Gm Cm Gm
I shot the sheriff but I didn't shoot no deputy Gm Cm Gm

Yeah! All around in my home town, Cm Dm Gm
They're tryin' to track me down Cm Dm Gm
They say they want to bring me in guilty Cm Dm Gm
For the killing of a deputy Cm Dm Gm
For the life of a deputy. But I say: Cm Dm Gm

I shot the sheriff but but I swear it was in selfdefence
I shot the sheriff and they say it is a capital offence

Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what, I don't know
Every time I plant a seed
He said kill it before it grow
He said kill them before they grow, and so:

I shot the sheriff but but I swear it was in selfdefence
I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in selfdefence

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah!
All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot - I shot - I shot him down and I say:
If I am guilty I will pay

I shot the sheriff but I didn't shoot no deputy
I shot the sheriff but I didn't shoot no deputy

Reflexes had got the better of me
And what is to be must be:
Every day the bucket a-go a well
One day the bottom a-go drop out
One day the bottom a-go drop out, I say:

I shot the sheriff but I didn't shoot no deputy
I shot the sheriff but I didn't shoot no deputy

No Woman No Cry

No woman, no cry C G Am F
No woman, no cry C F C G
No woman, no cry C G Am F
No woman, no cry C F C G

Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit C G Am F
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say

No woman, no cry C G Am F
No woman, no cry C F C G
Oh my Little sister, don't she'd no tears C G Am F
No woman, no cry C F C G

Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit C G Am F
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
Log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage and so
I've got to push on through but while I'm gone...

Everything's gonna be alright C G Am F
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright

No woman, no cry C G Am F
No, no woman, no woman, no cry C F C G
Oh, little sister, don't she'd no tears C G Am F
No woman, no cry C F C G

Stairway To Heaven

Intro: Am Ab+ C D F maj7 G A m

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold Am Ab+ C D
And she's buying the stairway to heaven Fmaj7 G Am
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed Am Ab+ C D
With a word she can get what she came for Fmaj7 G Am

Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven C D F maj7 A m C G D

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure C D F maj7 A m
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings C D Fmaj7
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings Am Ab+ C D
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven Fmaj7 G Am

A m G# + C D F maj7 G A m
Ooh, it makes me wonder G/B A m7 D sus4 D A m7 E m D C D
Ooh, it makes me wonder A m7 D sus4 D A m7 E m D C D

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west C G Am
And my spirit is crying for leaving C G F Am
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees C G Am
And the voices of those who stand looking C G F Am

Ooh, it makes me wonder A m7 D sus4 D A m7 E m D C D
Ooh, it really makes me wonder A m7 D sus4 D A m7 E m D C D

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune C G Am
Then the piper will lead us to reason C G F Am
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long C G Am
And the forests will echo with laughter C G F Am

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now C G Am
It's just a spring clean for the May queen C G F Am
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run C G Am
There's still time to change the road you're on C G F Am

And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know C G Am
The piper's calling you to join him C G F Am
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know C G Am
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind C G F Am

And as we wind on down the road Am G F G
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying the stairway to heaven Fmaj7 G Am
