Donovan - Catch The Wind guitar tab

   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 :

CATCH THE WIND   - DONOVAN

 Cadd9: x32033       F   : 133211     Dsus4: xx0233
 Fadd2: xx3233       Em  : 022000
 G    : 320033       Am  : 002210

(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,
