 Use Capo on 3rd fret.
 The measure changes throughout the song, so I did not place
 bars. The dots on top of the lines represent eighth-notes.

KATMANDU- Cat Stevens

D C  D C  D C  D C

D       C             D
I sit beside the dark
               F
Beneath the mire
 C          G
Cold grey dusty day
D/A           A   A (strum)  C G           D
The morning lake             drinks up the sky

CHORUS #1:
RIFF 1   C    G          C      G      D
        Katmandu, I'll soon be seeing you
           F           G       C
And your strange, bewildering time
      F       G   RIFF 2 C/G B/G  RIFF 3
Will hold me down

D C  D C  D C  D C

Chop me some broken wood
We'll start a fire
White, warm, light the dawn
And help me see, oh Satan's tree

CHORUS #2:
Katmandu, I'll soon be seeing you
And your strange, bewildering time
Will hold me down

Pass me my hat and coat
Lock up the cabin
Slow night, treat me right
Until I go, be nice to know

CHORUS #3:
Katmandu, I'll soon be seeing you
And your strange, bewildering time
Will keep me home
