Em                             D 
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst 
C                       Bm      Em 
Out at you from their hiding place 
Em                      D 
Like acid and oil on a madman's face 
     C                  Em 
His reason tends to fly away 
 
C                          G 
Like lesser birds on the four winds 
C                       Bm 
Like silver scrapes in May 
Em                      D 
Now the sands become a crust 
C                       Em 
And most of you have gone away 
 
Em                              D 
Come Susy dear, let's take a walk 
C                       Em 
Just out there upon the beach 
Em                      D 
I know you'll soon be married 
C                                       Em 
And you want to know where the winds come from 
 
C                       G 
Well it's never said at all 
C                       B 
On the map that Carrie reads 
Em                      D 
Behind the clock back there you know 
C                  Em 
At the four winds bar
