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): A G A D E- I sat upon the setting sun G E- G Asus4 A7 G I never, never, never ne ver A G A D E- I never wanted water once G E- A G D I never, ne ver never THE WIND by Cat Stevens (1971) Intro D5 E |-------5------------5-----|-------5------------5------| B |--3------------3----------|--3------------3-----------| G |-----2---2--------2---2---|-----2---2--------2----2---| D |--0------------0----------|--0------------0-----------| A |--------------------------|---------------------------| E |--------------------------|---------------------------| D5 D4 D D2 G6 Asus7 A7 Asus7 E |-------5-----3--p2--p0----|---0------0----------------| B |--3---------------------3-|---3---3------3---2--h3----| G |-----2---2----------------|--------------0------------| D |--0----------0------------|---------------------------| A |--------------------------|--------------0------------| E |--------------------------|---3-----------------------| D5 D4 D D2 G6 Asus7 A7 Asus7 E |-------5-----3--p2--p0----|---0------0----------------| B |--3---------------------3-|---3---3------3---2--h3----| G |-----2---2----------------|--------------0------------| D |--0----------0------------|---------------------------| A |--------------------------|--------------0------------| E |--------------------------|---3-----------------------| Verse 1 D5 D4 D D2 G6 I list-en to the wind, Asus7 A7 Asus7 D5 D4 D D2 G6 Asus7 A7 Asus7 To the wind of my soul, D5 D4 D D2 G6 Where I’ll end up, well, I think, Asus7 A7 Asus7 D5 D4 D D2 G6 Asus7 A7 Asus7 Only God reall-y knows, G A G A D Em G Em G A4 A I’ve sat upon the sett-ing sun, but never, nev-er, nev-er, nev-er, G A G A D D2 D I never wanted wat-er once-------, Em G Em A G D5 D4 D D2 G6 Asus7 A7 Asus7 A7 Asus7 No, never, nev-er, nev-er!
