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 ditty.  It is off of the Teaser and the Firecat
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.

Verse 1:
I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul.
Where I'll end up, well I think, only God really knows.


Chorus: ??

           
I sat upon the

             
 setting sun

            
I never, never

              
, never, never

            
I never wanted

             
 water once

            
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.


           
I swam upon th

              
e Devil's Lake

            
I never, never

              
, never, never

            
I'll never mak

             
e the same mis

     
take

            
I Never, never

       
, never.

(Back to the verse guitar pattern.  Repeat twice and end.)

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 sat upon the

            
 setting sun


           
I never, never

        
, never   ne  

     
  ver


             
I never wanted

           
 water once


           
I never, ne   

      
ver  never
