A whimsical 'what if' song; you can slow this song down to almost a stop without
losing the song's thread. Sounds HUGE soloed on a twelve string - bring all your
finger tricks. Good luck and have fun with it!! Any hints or suggestions gladly

Verse 1...
A7 D
A month of nights, a year of days,
A7 G
Octobers drifting into Mays,
A7 D
I set my sail as the tide comes in
G A7 D G A7 G D G A7
And I just cast my fate to the wind.
Verse 2...
A7 D
I shift my course along the breeze,
A7 G
Won't sail upwind on memories,
A7 D
The empty sky is my best friend,
G A7 D G A7 G D G A7
And I just cast my fate to the wind.
Bridge...
A D G
Time has such a way of changing
A7 D G
A man throughout the years,
A D G A D G
And now I'm rearranging my life through all my tears,
A9 D A7 D
Alone, a - lone.
Verse 3...
A7 D
There never was, there couldn't be
A7 G
A place in time for men like me,
A7 D
Who'd drink the dark and laugh the day,
G A7 D G A7 G D G A7
And let their wildest dreams blow away.
Repeat Bridge...
Verse 4
A7 D
So now I'm old, I'm wise and smart;
A7 G
I'm just a man with half a heart.
A7 D
I wonder how it might have been
G A D G A7 G D G A7 G D
Had I not cast my fate to the wind.
