C      CM7 | Cadd9  C      | Asus2  Asus4  | Am     Asus2

Cadd9  C   | CM7    Cadd9  | Am     Asus2  | Asus4  Am

 

G/B C     G  Am    G          Dm             Am             G/B

I-- close my eyes, only for a moment and the moment's gone.

C   G  Am     G              Dm         Am

All my dreams pass before my eyes a curiosity.

Dm          Am    G               Dm          Am   G/B

Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.

 

Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea.

All we do, crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see.

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.

 

INTERLUDE:

Am(add 2)   G/A   F(#11)/A   F6/A  [3x]

C      CM7 | Cadd9  C      | Asus2  Asus4  | Am     Asus2

Cadd9  C   | CM7    Cadd9  | Am     Asus2  | Asus4  Am

 

Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.

It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy.

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.

 

Am  A(add2)  Dm(add2)/A  [repeat chords & out]

The wind...

(repeat & fade)
