The Tears In Marys Eyes


     4/4 (slow with feeling)               (Written by Billy Mcbolan)

     F
     Last night i kissed my gentle wife
         Dm
     And heard my babys cries
         C
     And thru steel bars i set them free
         Bb             F    Fsus4    F
     Goodbye thru Marys eyes

         F
     The hangman's calling for his coin
         Dm
     His rope of measured ties
         C
     And all the love i threw away
           Bb          F    
     Lives on in Marys eyes

          Bb
     Iv'e rode with thieves with souls ice cold
         F                Dm7
     And fired my piistol true
         Bb
     For love of gold and flesh to hold
       Gm7                   C7
     I wandered too far from you


     (verse instrumental)

          Bb
     Iv'e rode with thieves with souls ice cold 
         F               Dm
     And fired my pistol true
         Bb
     For love of gold and flesh to hold
       Gm7                  C7
     I wandered so far from you

        F
     My footsteps echo as they fall
         Dm
     The gallows weighed my size
       C
     A thousand beats my heart has skipped
          Bb             F    Fsus4    F
     Thru tears in Marys eyes

         F
     The rope feels cold across my throat
         Dm
     For sins Lord and my lies
          C
     Pray hold my hand before i drop
         Bb           F
     And dry my Marys eyes
