Marshall Wind

Written by John Stewart

‘Marshall Wind’ is on the great “Willard” album, Capitol Records, 1970, best re-release as BGO Records double CD (2001) (together with the outstanding “California Bloodlines” album from 1969).

This is a great chorus song – nice to sing it with lovers, friends and neighbours.

(C)Sunday song, the (C7)day is long,

(F) She wore the yellow dress just to (Fm)keep me happy,

'Till the (C)day was done, out on (C7)highway one,

(F) Dancing off the bottles was the (Fm)Sunday sun.

I'm (C)singing, (C7)singing, (F)singing a (Fm)song(hold)

Won't you sing (G)along?

Everybody sing along, now…

(C)La la, la la la (F)la,

(C)La la, la la la (F)la.

A (C)speckled bird, with(C7)out a word,

(F) Sings a little song that he (Fm)thought he heard

From the (C)Marshall wind, where the (C7)sea begins.

(F) When a bird wants a song he just (Fm)looks within.

And he's (C)singing, he's (C7)singing, (F)singing a (Fm)song(hold)

Won't you sing (G)along?

Everybody sing it one more time…

(C)La la, la la la (F)la

(C)La la, la la la (F)la (Oh, it´s a love song)

(C)La la, la la la (F)la (To the earth and the sea)

[On and on and on.......getting cooler all the time.]
