Key: C
Introduction: 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
E Dm AmE Dm Am F C DmE
In the master's house
There's an easy chair
