Version 1 Version 2 Version 3Song: Wild world Artist: Cat Stevens Composer: Cat Stevens Album: Tea for the Tillerman Tabbed by DJ 23rd Mar 2016 Original album track: --.-/watch?ds49ayffOnXYgy3o Live performance: --.-/watch?ds49aJta56wBl7SM For a few of the chords I've taken a middle path, as Cat plays a D chord, but sings a C note, so I've gone with a D7 which sounds better with the melody and as a transition from the Am to the G. He plays Cmaj7 with a G bass without really emphasising it, but the bassist plays a B note. Cat plays a Dm, but the piano suggests a subtler Dm7 phrase.
