     Am
The wind is blowing softer now
   F                G
My eyes are still a blur
     Am
With remnants all around me
     F                 E7
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                   G
They tried their best to stay
        E
But the wind blew them all away

Am

Am
Picture in your mind
         F             G
A silent statue in the sand
  Am
A dust cloud comes
                     F
And leaves no hiding place
             E
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                 G
Thought they'd go all the way
        E
But the wind blew them all away

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

While they were looking the other way
    G             D         A   E
The wind came and blew them all away
     Bm                 F#m          D
They thought they could stand in the stormy day
