Catch the Wind

By Donovan

Key of D

D G A  D G D A

       D                G
In the chilly hours and minutes
     D            G
Of uncertainty, I want to be
D                G       A      D    A
In the warm hold of your loving mind

   D             G
To feel you all around me
       D               G
And to take your hand along the sand
D                     G       A         D   G  D   A
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

     D                 G
When sundown pales the sky
          D              G
I want to hide a while behind your smile
D                  G          A        D    A
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.

    D              G
For me to love you now
             D                     G
Would be the sweetest thing, would make me sing
D                     G       A         D     G    D
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

G           G           F#m
Deedee dee dee, dee dee deedee
        G      G        E7
Dee dee deedee, dee dee deedee
       A    A/F# A/G  A/F#
Dee de deeee

     D                 G
When rain has hung the leaves with tears
  D                G
I want you near to kill my fears
   D          G            A       D   A
To help me to leave all my blues behind

    D                G
For standing in your heart
           D              G
Is where I want to be and long to be
D                     G       A         D   G   D   A
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
