The Wind - By Cat Stevens Presented to you by Paul D. Black This is a short, catchy little diddy. I believe it is off of the Tea For the Tillerman Album' Below is the tab to the verse. There is some fingerpicking involved in that part of the song. For the chorus part, I just gave the chords since they are in the standard position and you'll really have to hear the recording to get the strum pattern (that what gives it it's flavor). This is just approximate. You'll have to listen to the record to get the exact chordal pattern. When you hear it you'll see (hear) what I mean. 1st guitar on intro: +--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+ | | | | | +--------10-------+--------10-------+--------10-------+--------10-------+ | | | | | +---7----+---7----+-----7--+----7---+----7---+----7---+----7---+---7----+ | | | | | +-0------+--------+--0-----+--------+-0------+--------+-0------+--------+ | | | | | +--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+ | | | | | +--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+ 2nd guitar on intro and this following pattern continues throughout the verse.

Where I'll end up, well I think, only God really knows. Chorus: ''

^GI s^Aat^G upon the sett^Aing ^Dsun ^Em I n^Aev^Ger, never, ^Anev^Ger, never ^A ^G

I ne^Ave^Gr wanted wate^Ar on^Dce ^Em A G A D (back to the verse) I Never, never, never.

Verse2: I listen to my words but they fall far below. I let my music take me where my heart wants to go.

^GI s^Awa^Gm upon the Dev^Ail's^D Lake ^Em I n^Aev^Ger, never, ^Anev^Ger, never ^A ^G

I'll n^Aev^Ger make the s^Aame mis^Dtake ^Em I N^Aev^Ger, never, n^Aever.^D

(Back to the verse guitar pattern. Repeat twice and end.) ~From: FFL00DAG@unccvm.uncc.edu Subj: Re: CRD: Cat Stevens ~Date: Sat, 12 Feb 1994 15:26:40 GMT Many thanks to Paul Black for posting the TABs for the Steven's songs. I have a slightly different take on the chorus of the Wind, but Paul's version is probably more accurate. It's been --mmm- 20 years since I actually listened to the Wind... Anyway, here's the way I play the chorus (starting from G):

I s^Aat upon the s^Gett^Aing s^Dun ^E-

I n^Gever, n^E-ever, n^Gever ^Asus4 ne ^A7ver ^G

I n^Aever wanted w^Gat^Aer ^Donce ^E-

I n^Gever, n^E-e v^Aer n^Gev^Der
