What Id Give To Be The Wind
Roger Miller
I believe this is the picking pattern for the opening part of song. It is repeated at end of verses. e|--3-----3-----3-----3-|----3-----3-----3-----3-| B|--0-----0-----0-----0-|----0-----0-----0-----0-| G|--0-----0-----0-----0-|----0-----0-----0-----0-| D|----------2h3---2p0---|------------2h3---2p0---| A|----0h2---------------|------0h2---------------| E|3---------------------|-3----------------------| [Verse #1] I watch the wind blow brown leaves to the ground And blow along the side-walks of this town I can see the wind as it blew her hair time and time again Oh what I’d give Lord to be the wind [Verse #2] Oh what I’d give to be the wind To be free to leave this awful place I’m in It’s hopeless cause I haven’t got a penny or a friend Oh what I’d give Lord to be the wind [Verse #3] This same wind tomorrow will be gone To blow across the cotton fields of home It will gently touch the lovely face I long to touch again Oh what I’d give Lord to be the wind Repeat [Verse #2]
