Intro G   D   C  G
 
G                  G                D
Have you seen her run through the wild things 
   D                      C              C                      D
Dropping behind her the child's things That she'll no longer need 
G                 G              D
Scattering like seeds they are discarded then 
 D                        C                    C                     D
Nothing can give them a life again   They're comfort only when she bleeds
 
CHORUS I 
       G                G                 C
And strong winds are blowing through her hair 
C               G                      C      D
I reach out to touch it but it's not there 
G                                C
Strong winds are beating at her door
D               G                      C            G
Even with it locked they come back stronger than before
 
And when she takes a walk into the early morning 
Somewhere inside you an early warning bell begins to ring 
And in the darkest night she takes a telescope 
Looks through the wrong end and loses hope  Pointing at the nearest thing
 
CHORUS 2 
And strong winds are blowing through her hair 
I reach, out to touch it but it's not there 
Strong winds are beating down our door 
Shaping our lives we never know what for
 
And when she takes her place in the furniture 
The crystal vase and the rocking chair The chintz and china cups 
Then it's all reduced to a bill of sale 
She disappears with the merchandise  You understand that well
 
CHORUS 1 repeat (stronger than before repeated x3)
