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.

Verse 1 (keyboard chords arr. for guitar):
  F          Ebadd2     Bb     Csus4
xx756x       xx886x    xx876x  xx556x
Who's peekin' out from under a stairway
  F      Ebadd2        Bb         Csus4
Calling a name that's lighter than air
 F           Ebadd2    Bb       Csus4
Who's bending down to give me a rainbow
 F       Ebadd2    Bb/C F
Everyone knows it's Windy

Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's Windy
