Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
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 "@")


[Verse 1]

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 1]

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)


[Verse 2]

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.


[Chorus 2]

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.


[Instrumental] (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)


[Verse 3]

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.


[Chorus 3]

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!;)

I sure hope this is good for you. I'm positive that this is 100% correct.
I'm sorry i wasn't able to put more than one measure than on a line. But
it all goes in order.

Lyrics to Dust In The Wind by Kansas:

I close my eyes
only for a moment
and the moments gone
all my dreams
pass before my eyes a curiosity
dust in the wind
all we are dust in the wind

Same old song
just a drop of water
in the endless see
all we do
crumbles to the ground
though we refuse to see
dust in the wind


Now, don´t hang on
nothing last forever
but the earth and sky
it slips away

And all your money
won`t another minute buy

Dust in the wind
all we are dust in the wind
dust in the wind
dust in the wind

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.

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.
