On You Like the Wind

 

Written by John Stewart

 

‘On You Like The Wind’ is from “Fire in the Wind, RSO, 1977, re-released as a CD with five bonus tracks by Wrasse Records, 2001. 

This is a fun song to play, not too difficult to learn.  Works equally well with the accentuated strumming you hear on the album and with some moderately fast picking!
