DONOVAN - "Catch The Wind" Tablature
Official DONOVAN Tablature & Sheet Music »
#
I found out that given numbering system is right but Don plays a
little bit more complex when he plays only with his guitar and harmonica.
On the record Don is supposed to be play on key of Eb on the normal tuned
guitar at first look but if you listen carefully the bass strings on
guitar it sounds like chord G and Cadd9.
However if you listen very carefully (thats what I did) song is played
capo on 3rd fret on the key of C with respect to the capo. You can play
them on wherever you want but if you want to play with recording you must
play it capo on 3rd fret... All of tabs are written by me so corrections
appreciated....
Then I'll give all the chords with respect to the capo :

(Same as what's before.. You must figured out what's goin' on hah ???)
rain has hung the leaves with tears, I want you near to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues be-hind
Standin' in your heart is where I want to be and long to be
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
PS For Harmonica Players:
I've got C harmonica and for this purpose I play
this song with no capo on normal tuned guitar ........
Cheers,
Utku.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DONOVAN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
