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.
