The Wind Blew Them All Away

Tom: Am

Intro: Am

Am
The wind is blowing softer now
       F                        G
My eyes are still a blur
Am
With remnants all around me
       F                           G
I survey the ones that were
                  E
They were strong and tall
         Dm         Am
They stood so proud
                          E
And when they walked the streets
       Dm      Am
The people bowed
                       F
But when the climate changed
          C                         Dm
They tried their best to stay
             E
But the wind blew them all away

Am
Picture in your mind
              F                  G
A silent statue in the sand

    Am
A dust cloud comes
                                    F
And leaves no hiding place
                     G7
For beast or man
                  E
And in the master's house
              Dm      Am
They're partyin' down
                        E
But there's no resting place
           Dm        Am
In this prodigal town
                      F
But there are some we know
                              C        Dm
Thought they'd go all the way
              E
But the wind blew them all away

[Solo]: 8x( Am F G )

( E Dm Am E Dm Am F C Dm E )
In the master's house
There's an easy chair
Some would like to think
It's easy there, but if you look for long
So many have gone astray
Cause the wind blew them all away

While they were looking the other way
The wind came and blew them all away
They thought they could stand in the stormy day
But the wind came and blew them all away
The wind came and blew them all away
They thought they could stand in the stormy day
But they wind came and blew them all away
