"Windy"

(Ruthann Friedman)

Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master

Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):

Written by our good friend and "Den Mother", Ruthann Friedman, this song

successfully bridged the generation gap. From toddlers to grandmothers,

its appeal was almost universal. One of those rare songs that everyone

knew was a hit, before we left the studio.

Intro:

bass:

v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

guitar (doubles bass at pitch):

v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

[drums enter; harpsichord doubles bass]:

bass:

v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

guitar:

v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

Verse 1 [keyboard chords arr. for guitar]:

xx756x xx886x xx876x xx556x

Who's peekin' out from under a stairway

Calling a name that's lighter than air

Who's bending down to give me a rainbow

Everyone knows it's Windy

[bass, doubled with harpsichord:]

v v v v

Verse 2:

Who's tripping down the streets of the city

Smilin' at everybody she sees

Who's reachin' out to capture a moment

Everyone knows it's Windy

[bass, doubled with harpsichord:]

[N.C.]

v v v v v v v v

(and Windy...)

Chorus:

And Windy has stor-my eyes

That flash at the sound of lies

And Windy has wings to fly

Above the clouds (above the clouds)

Above the clouds (above the clouds)

[flute solo as per verse 2]

[repeat chorus]

Coda:

[repeat verse 2 (fade 5th time); omit harpsichord/bass break

between repeats]
