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
D Bm
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
D G
We`ve nothing left to lose but your wings and my frown
D Bm
Where over the hills where the valleys will ring
D G
To the sound of our love singin' true
D A D

D, G, D, A, D
But the summer sun is melting now
Bm A
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
Bm A
By the beating from the storm
G D
Or will howling gales like yesterdays be gone
D A G
Yeah be gone... be gone
