[Intro]
Eb E F Eb/G E/G# F/A
[Verse 1]
C B Bb F
After all the jacks are in their boxes
C B Bb F
And the clowns have all gone to bed
C B Bb F
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
G Bb Eb E F
Footprints dressed in red
G Bb Eb E F Eb/G E/G# F/A
And the wind whispers Mary
[Verse 2]
C B Bb F
A broom is drearily sweeping
C B Bb F
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
[Verse 3]
C B Bb F
The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow
C B Bb F
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
C B Bb F
The tiny island sags downstream
G Bb Eb E F
Cause the life that they lived is dead
G Bb Eb E F Eb/G E/G# F/A
And the wind screams Mary
[Verse 4]

Will the wind ever remember
C B Bb F
The names it has blown in the past

It whispers "No, this will be the last"

And the wind cries Mary

3. Chord Gitar Bold As Love - Jimi Hendrix
[Verse]
A E
Anger, he smiles,
F#m D
towering in shiny metallic purple armour
A E
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
F#m D
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
D A Bm
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,
G
They quietly understand
D A Bm
Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
G G# A
But wonder why the fight is on
[Chorus]
E F#m G
But they're all bold as love,
A E F#m
Yeah, they're all bold as love
A E F#m
Yeah, they're all bold as love
G A
Just ask the axis
[Verse]
A E F#m
My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war,
D
and ribbons of euphoria
A E
Orange is young, full of daring,
F#m D
But very unsteady for the first go round
D A
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
Bm G
In fact I'm trying to say it's frightened like me
D A Bm
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from,
G G# A
Giving my life to a rainbow like you
[Chorus]
E F#m G
But I'm bold, bold as love,
A E F#m G
Yeah, I'm bold, bold as love
A E F#m
Yeah, we're all bold as love
G A
Just ask the axis
Yeah yeah yeah....
