Dust In The Wind by: Kansas This is 100% accurate, i'm completly sure about this!!! There are no mistakes so try it! (travis finger picking) The whole song is played with arpeggio and that's why i thought it is the first thing to learn from it: e ---------| B 0----0---| G ---0---0-| D --0---0--| A 0---0----| E ---------| Repeat till you can play it with your eyes closed. Then the rest is easy. For the introduction here you have a tip: trough the introduction the 2nd string (B) makes something like this: (the arpeggio will aumaticaly do it, you don't have to worry about this) B 1--0--3 (X6) But as you play it you wont even notice about it Then, here are the chords: (EADGBe) C (x3201x) Cmaj7 (x3200x) Cadd3 (x3203x) Asus2 (x0220x) Asus4 (x0223x) Am (x0221x) G/B (x2003x) G (3x000x) Dm7 (xx0211) D/F# (2x023x) Am/G (3x221x) Am add9 (x0750x) G/A (x0570x) F(#11)/A (x0350x) F6(#11)/A (x0353x) For G, D/F# and Am/G the arpeggio is played like this: e -----------| B 0------0---| G ---0-----0-| D --0-----0--| A -----------| E 0----0-----| And for Dm7 it is played like this: e 0------0---| B ---0-----0-| G --0-----0--| D 0----0-----| A -----------| E -----------| This is the last step: Right when a paragraph is about to start there is an alteration in the arpeggio: Example when the first sentence in a paragraph finishes: "#" Am $ C $ is G/B e -------------------| B 1------1--1--1-3-1-| G ---2-----2--2------| D --2-----2--2-------| A 0----0----0--0-2-3-| E -------------------| After the introduction it is only: "@" Am $ C (starting the paragraph) e ---------| B 1--1-3-1-| G --2------| D -2-------| A 0--0-2-3-| E ---------| But after the first Chorus it is played like this: * Am $ C $ is G/B e ----------------------| B 0h1----1----0h1---3-1-| G -----2----2-----------| D ----2----2------------| A -0----0------0----2-3-| E ----------------------| And in the instrumental part there is a very little alteration in the arpeggio that you can practice after you've learned all the song: Amadd9 Amadd9 G/A G/A e ------------0--------------0---| B 0---0---0-------0---0--0-------| G --5---5---5---5---7---7--7---7-| D -7---7---7---7---5---5--5---5--| A 0--0----0--0----0--0---0--0----| E -------------------------------| *********************************Chords********************************* For the introduction play: C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C Asus2 Asus4 Am Asus2 Cadd9 C Cmaj7 Cadd9 Am Asus2 Asus4 Am (in the last Am play directly alteration "@") (1st paragraph) C G/B Am Am I close my eyes, G Dm7 Am Am Only for a moment and the moment's gone. (here you play the alteration "#" instead of both Am) C G/B Am Am All my dreams, G Dm7 Am Am Pass before my eyes a curiosity. (chorus) D/F# G Am Am/G Dust in the wind, D/F# G Am All they are is dust in the wind (play this "*" when Am is said over "wind" at the end of the chorus) (2nd paragraph) C G/bB Am Am Same old song, G Dm7 Am Am (here you play "#" again instead of the Am's) Just a drop of water in an endless sea, C G/B Am Am All we do, G Dm7 Am Am Crumbles to the ground tho' we refuse to see. (2nd chorus) D/F# G Am Am/G Dust in the wind, D/F# G Amadd9(x2) G/A(x2) F(#11)/A(x2) F6(#11)/A F(#11)/A All we are is dust in the wiiiiii-----iiiiiiiiiiiiiiind, ooooooooooooooh ho hooooooooooooo. (Here there is an instrumental part with the following chords) Amadd9 Amadd9 G/A G/A F(#11)/A F(#11)/A F6(#11)/A F(#11)/A (it is not a mistake, the last chord here is F(#11)/A) REPEAT THIS ANOTHER TIME INTRODUCTION AGAIN (with te alteration included) (and starts the last paragraph) C G/B Am Am (Now) Don't ha-ang o-on, G Dm7 Am Am (here you play "#" again instead of the Am's) Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky. C G/b Am Am It slips a-awa-a-ay, G Dm7 Am Am And all your money won't another minute buy. (Last chorus) D/F# G Am Am/G Dust in the wind, D/F# G Am Am/G All we are is dust in the wind. (all we are is dust in the wind) D/F# G Am Am/G Dust in the wind, (everything is dust in the wind) D/F# G Am Everything is dust in the wind Instead of this last Am in "wind" keep playing this till the end: e 0-------0-------0-------| B 1---1---0---0---3---3---| G --2---2---2---2---2---2-| D -2---2---2---2---2---2--| A 0--0----0--0----0--0----| E ------------------------| And that is the end!!! you've finished!!! wasn't it easy? haha!;)
