F         A#    C         F 
So long child, I'm on my way,
Gm7              A#    Gm7               C
And after all is done, and after all is done.
F         A#         E          A  
Don't be down, it's all in the past,
       Dsus2     E    A
Thought you may be afraid.

F         A#     C          F 
So long child, it's awful dark,
    Gm7                  A#
And I've never felt the sun
    Gm7               C
I dread to think of when.
                F
When the wind blows

Chorus:
                 A# 
When the wind blows
                Fdim
When the wind blows
             F     C
When the wind blows

Life burns a savage wound, angry and wrong
Trusting a twisted word, you'll run, run away
You'll take him home
You'll spit and taunt him
But they won't believe you
No matter what you'll say

So long child, it's awful dark
I never felt the sun
I dread to think of when
When the wind blows

Chorus:
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
