Tabbed by: DJ Inferno
 
 
[Intro]
 
F  Dm  F  Dm  Am   Dm*  Am*  G*  C !
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
(C)              Dm
 I follow the Moskva
               C
 Down to Gorky Park
                  Dm*      Am*  G*  C !
 Listening to the wind of change
 
(C)               Dm
 An August summer night
                  C
 Soldiers passing by
                  Dm*      Am*  G*
 Listening to the wind of change
 
 
[Interlude]
 
F  Dm  F  Dm  Am   Dm*  Am*  G*  C !
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
(C)                   Dm
 The world is closing in
              C
 Did you ever think
                     Dm*          Am*    G*  C !
 That we could be so close, like brothers
 
(C)                  Dm
 The future's in the air
                    C
 I can feel it everywhere
                  Dm*      Am*  G*
 Blowing with the wind of change
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C     G         Dm           G
 Take me to the magic of the moment
      C     G
On a glory night
          Dm            G             Am
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
 F               G         C
In the wind of change
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
C                 Dm
 Walking down the street
             C
 Distant memories
                   Dm*     Am*  G*  C !
 Are buried in the past forever
 
(C)              Dm
 I follow the Moskva

 Listening to the wind of change

Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
      F !     G !
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment

       F !     G !
In the wind of change
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Am                        G
 The wind of change blows straight
                  Am
Into the face of time
                           G
Like a stormwind that will ring
                              C
The freedom bell for peace of mind
                   Dm
Let your balalaika sing

What my guitar wants to say

Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
      F !     G !
With you and me
 
C     G         Dm           G
Take me to the magic of the moment
      C     G
On a glory night
          Dm            G             Am
Where the children of tomorrow dream away

In the wind of change

(NOTES)
 
1) When a chord is followed by a !, it means that you do not strum the chord
but instead you play it in one quick downward motion.
2) When a chord is followed by a *, it means that the chord has to be plucked.
The plucking pattern is given below.
 
(PLUCKING PATTERN)
 
The plucking progression for Dm, Am and G goes like this
 
   Dm        Am        G
e|---1-----|---0-----|---------|
B|-----3---|-----1---|---3-0---|
G|-------2-|-------0-|-------0-|
D|-0-------|---------|---------|
A|---------|-0-------|---------|
E|---------|---------|-3-------|
 
Or this
 
   Dm        Am        G
e|---------|---------|---------|
B|---6-----|---5-----|---3-----|
G|-----7---|-----5---|-----4---|
D|-------7-|-------5-|-------5-|
A|-5-------|---------|---------|
E|---------|-5-------|-3-------|
 
 
Whistling part arranged for guitar :
 
e|---------------------------------|
B|------0-1-----------0--1--3-1----|
G|---2-------------2---------------| x2
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|
 
                      Dm, Am, G plucking begins here.
                      |         ½     ½
e|---------0--1-0---------------------------|
B|---1--3-----------1-3---------------------|

I think you did a good job overall. I found a few things that you may want to check out and maybe correct. I think the intro should go like this (Intro) F Dm F Dm Am Dm* Am* G* C! Also, the last line in each verse that is just before the chorus stays in G versus going back to C. I also found a couple of things towards the end of the bridge. Here's how I hear the bridge: (Bridge) Am G The wind of change blows straight Am Into the face of time G Like a storm wind that will ring C The freedom bell for peace of mind Dm Let your balalaika sing E What my guitar wants to say If you want, you can add the chords for the Solo. Here's how I heard them: (Solo - 12 Bar) F G Em Am F G Am Am F G Em Am F Em-E Last thing I noticed is that the outro is different than the intro. Here's how I hear the outro (Outro) F Dm F Dm Am Dm Like I said, you did a nice job with this. Mine is so close to yours that I don't think they'll post it. Take a listen and let me know what you think. Good luck and happy playin' Chris
