[Intro]
D A G D D
[Verse]
D D A
Have you seen her run through the wild things
A G
Dropping behind her those child’s things
D A
That she’ll no longer need
D D A
Scattering like seeds they are discarded then
A7 G
Nothing can give them a life again
D A
They comfort only when she bleeds
[Chorus]
D D G
And strong winds are blowing through her hair
A D
I reach out to touch it
G D A
But it’s not there
D D G
Strong winds are beating at her door
A D
Even with it locked
G D
They come back stronger than before
[Verse]
D D A
And when she takes a walk into the early morning
A7 G D A
Somewhere inside you an early warning bell begins to ring
D D A
And in the darkest night she takes a telescope
A7 G
Looks through the wrong end and looses hope
D A
Pointing at the nearest thing
[Chorus]
D D G
And strong winds are blowing through her hair
A D
I reach out to touch it
G A
But it’s not there
D D G
Strong winds are beating down our door
A D
Shaping our lives
G D
We never know what for
[Bridge]
D D Am Gm D Am Gm Gm
[Verse]
D D A
And when she takes her place in the furniture
A G
The crystal vases and the rocking chair
D A
The chintz and china cups
D D A
Then it’s all reduced to a bill of sale
A G
She disappears with the merchandise
D A
You understand that well
[Chorus]
D D G
And strong winds are blowing through her hair
A D
I reach out to touch it
G D A
But it’s not there, it’s not there. It’s not there
D D G
Strong winds are beating at her door
A D
Even with it locked
G D
They come back stronger than before
G D
Stronger than before
G D Gm Gm D
Stronger than before
