[Verse]
D Said her name was Marie G From the banks of the Lee Bm A With the prettiest eyes my own had ever seen D Her hair like ripples G They danced with the tide D A D As our hearts washed away to the sea D G Was she sent down to me from the heavens above? D Bm Her breath pure as whiskey, my heart fell in love D G Now the devil is courtin' a different tune D A D And I laugh as the tears wash the rain
[Chorus]
G D Tell me why no one's listenin' A D Is there nothing at all left to say G D In a world so unforgiving A Bm You mean more to me each every day G D A D So may the living be dead in our wake

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