The Cats: ONE WAY WIND (1970) (Arnold Mühren) 4/4 – 110 bpm.
 
Notes:
This song became The Cats, Volendam, Netherlands, their biggest hit record, because
it scored internationally very well too. It charted in 1971 in the Dutch Top-40 for 14 weeks,
and peaked on nr. 3: https://youtu.be/ylYQJLmDVzw
On the B-side it had the cracking rock song: Country Woman: https://youtu.be/ydiR4ueQsgc
and rock was quite unusual for them...!
 
[Intro]

| E | A | B7 | E | E
 
[Verse 1]
         E                  A         B7            E
You said some winds blow forever, and I didn't understand.
        E                A           B7                  E
But you saw my eyes were asking, and smiling you took my hand.
      E                G#m            A                   E
So we walked along the seaside, where trees grow just one way.
         E             G#m               A          A
Pointing out the one direction, that the wind blows,
          G    E    E
day after da - y.
 
[Chorus]
E             E            B7                   B7
One way wind, one way wind,   are you trying to blow my mind.
E             E            B7                   B
One way wind, one way wind,   is she her that I hoped to find.
E                G#m            A                     B            B
Why you blow the cold every day, tell me what are you trying to say.

[Verse 2]
      E               A             B7            E
No, I don't know all about you, and maybe I never will.
      E             A           B7               E
But I do know every word of our talking upon the hill.
        E           G#m          A              E
And whenever I will see you, for maybe one more time.
     E                 G#m              A        A
I am sure I'll get the answer, that the wind has,
         G    E    E
still in mi - nd.
 
[Chorus]
E             E            B7                   B7
One way wind, one way wind,   are you trying to blow my mind.
E             E            B7                   B
One way wind, one way wind,   is she her that I hoped to find.
E                G#m            A                     B
Why you blow the cold every day, tell me what are you trying to say.

One way wind, one way wind,    are you trying to blow my mind.
B             B            F#7                   F#7
One way wind, one way wind,    is she her that I hoped to find.
B             B            F#7                   F#7
One way wind, one way wind,    are you trying to blow my mind.

One way wind, one way wind,
