How to Play:
Dust in the Wind is an excellent piece to learn the pattern-picking or Travis-
picking fingerstyle technique. This piece has a syncopated melody played with 
the index and middle finger played against a strictly alternating bass line 
played in straight eighths. To practice this piece first learn the bass line
alone, then the melody alone, then try putting them together. Once you get the
idea on the first one or two bars the rest of the piece will come easily, just
start slow then build up to full speed. Since it's hard to notate syncopation
in tab I'll give a graphic representation of the syncopated melody's rhythm,
then do a count-off below the first  bar with counts only where notes are
to be played. Although this rhythm figure stays pretty constant there are a 
few places where the rhythm changes - they are noted in the tab, just 
make sure you don't miss the variations. Notice below that you squeeze "p" and
"m" together on the downbeat of One and Three, but otherwise the thumb and
melody fingers aren't plucked together.

Count:   
   One     and ah  Two ee  and ah  Three   and ah  Four ee and ah
   
The melody notes falling on "ee" and "ah" should be held for a full 1/8th note
except for the "ah" notes falling just before Three and One.

Chords:  (Chords are shown with the high E string fingering, however the
          high E string is only played on the Am and Dm chords in the 
          verses, and on the A* chords in the Outro section. The chord 
          diagrams are notated with the fingerings at the bottom of the 
          diagram, where there is more than one fingering given choose
          whichever fingering works best for you. The chords in this song
          are fingerpicked in a syncopated style and not strummed, however
          you should take the full chord position at each change and let
          notes ring.)

Lyrics:

1st Verse:
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone ...
All my dreams __pass before my eyes, a curiosity ...
Dust in the Wind. All they are is dust in the wind.

2nd Verse
Same old song, ... just a drop of water in an endless sea.
All we do ... crumbles to the ground .. though we refuse to see.
Dust in the wind. All we are is dust in the wind. 

Interlude

Oh. ho, ho

3rd verse
Now don't hang on, -- nothing lasts forever except the earth and sky.
It slips away, ... and all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind. All we are is dust in the wind.
Dust in the wind. Everything is dust in the wind.
The wind.
(Ad lib vocal)

Someone wanted me to put the lyrics in with the tab. Well, I've been getting "5" ratings on this tab-so I didn't want to srew with what I already have up. So I decided just to add this. It's a chordpro type but it works. It shows the chords in this part and the tab above shows how to play the song. So here's some of the lyrics with the chords...

{c:Intro:}
[C]  [Cmaj7]  [C(add9)]  [C]  [Asus2]  [Asus4]  [Am]  [Asus2]  
[C(add9)]  [C]  [Cmaj7]  [C(add9)]  [Am]  [Asus2]  [Asus4]  [Am]

I cl[C]ose m[G]y [Am]eyes, [G]only for a moment and the m[Am]oment's gone.
All my dreams, pass before my eyes a curiosity.

    D[Dm]ust in the w[Am]ind, [G]all they are is dust in the w[Am]ind.

Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea.
All we do, crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see.

    Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.

Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy.

    Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.
    Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.

By the way, I use to hold the first place tab in the guitar section of this website (Stairway to Heaven) and now it has dropped into second place. I'm hoping you can take the time to rate this tab because I would like to see a success in my tabbing. Thank you,
