F C Bm Am Am riff
tossed aside the weary .

F C

Am Em
while those daunting clouds above begin to pour .
F C Bm Am

F C Bm Am
and roll around on that lovers’ floor .

F C
come to me mary come .

you know you once were queen .

the ocean is , holding all the kings .

the ocean is , holding everything .

tossed aside the weary .
