Guitar chords Catch The Wind

Catch the Wind was released in 1965 as the debut single by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. The song is about unrequited love and was written by Donovan himself. It quickly became popular, reflecting the folk spirit of the mid-60s. The inspiration for Catch the Wind, according to Donovan, came from his admiration for Bob Dylan and his desire to create something with a similar sensibility.
