Tabs

Here are a couple of Cat Stevens Tunes I learned from the
recordings last summer.

               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:
+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
