Verse

Said her name was marie
 D (ring)
From the banks of the lee
G (ring)
With the prettiest eyes my own had ever seen
Bm (ring)A (ring)
Her hair like ripples
      D (ring)
They danced with the tide
         G (ring)
As our hearts washed away to the sea
D (ring)A (ring)   D (ring)
Was she sent down from the heavens above
  D       G
Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love
      DBm
Now the devil is courtin' a different tune
D    G
And I laugh as the tears wash the rain
         D    A  D

Tell me why no one`s listenin?
G         D
Is there nothing at all left to say
A     D
In a world so unforgiving
       G    D
You mean more to me each every day
   A   Bm
So may the living be dead in our wake
G      D       A D

D, G, D, A, D

One cold winters night behind the clouds stars did hide
       D  G
And the ghost of our souls thanking Christ we're alive
Bm     A
Our spirits they crackled with lovers first sight
      D       G
Till the mornin' came fresh with a new
D        A  D
Will you dance with me now heavens child sang the clown
DG
We`ve nothing left to lose but your wings and my frown
DBm
Where over the hills where the valleys will ring
D  G
To the sound of our love singin' true
D   AD

Tell me why no one`s listenin?
G         D
Is there nothing at all left to say
A     D
In a world so unforgiving
       G    D
You mean more to me each every day
   A   Bm
So may the living be dead in our wake

D, G, D, A, D

But the summer sun is melting now
BmA
With the leaves i`ll soon be gone
G     D
Will you have the strength when the emptiness
  D      A
Shadows fall
  G
Or will your aching heart be ripped apart
BmA
By the beating from the storm
GD
Or will howling gales like yesterdays be gone
DAG
Yeah be gone... be gone
A
