Great song (Cat Stevens). I learned it last night and I loved playing (and singing) it! My girl is letting me borrow her best of Cat Stevens CD and I really got into this song (her favorite track). I am seeing her this weekend and am going to surprise her by playing it. I love playing the chorus ... that opening chord rules -- 5320xx.

Go here for Cat Stevens tabs: http://www.majicat.com/guitartabs.htm

I think most of my post count is on Cat Steven's threads.

I have been trying to play the melodies along with the chords to songs a lot lately and this is a great one for that.

That's a nice website, thanks for the heads up.

No problem man. I actually got that link from someone here a few weeks back because I didn't know where to get good Cat tabs.

I play rhythm and use a flat pick; I am not a fingerstyle player. I could tell by listening to Cat play that he does a lot of fingerpicking, so I was worried about having to figure out a way around that. But that site has pretty good tabs. I don't play the intro/chorus EXACTLY like Cat does, but I am pretty close with strumming (chords and indiv. strings here and there). But hey, what is the point of playing a song EXACTLY like the original artist? Dave plays Watchtower and the Maker different than Dylan and Lenois.

I like adding a little something to covers. Makes them more personal to me! I have been trying to write my own stuff too. I play with a buddy a lot (he plays lead) and I have two songs of my own that we play. Pretty good stuff I think. We haven't performed for anyone yet, but I'd like to soon. We need to get a mic first ... might check out ebay.

haha. sorry for the rambling man. I just got back from covering a game and I am in a talkative mood!

Kickass song. Is it in open D-tuning?

jtdevan · Unread post by **jtdevan** » Wed Dec 03, 2003 11:11 am

Don't think so. The tab I found (and seems pretty accurate) is standard tuning.

Definately a good one.

But its in f*** G tuning!!! Damn it all to hell!!!! I don't want to go through all that open tuning crap. You tune a guitar to play one song, and thats all you can play with it.

The tab I got off the aforementioned Web site is in standard. I don't know if that is how Cat plays it, but it sounds pretty good to me.
