Strum

A  month of nights, a year  of days,
Octobers  drifting into  Mays,
 I set  my sail as the tide  comes in
 And I just cast  my fate  to the wind.
 Verse 2...
 I shift  my course along  the breeze,
 Won't sail  upwind on memories,
 The empty  sky is my best  friend,
 And I just cast  my fate  to the wind.
 Bridge...
 Time  has such  a way of changing
 A man  throughout  the years,
 And now  I'm rearranging  my life  through all  my tears,
 Alone, a  - lone.
 Verse 3...
 There  never was, there couldn't  be
A  place in time for men  like me,
 Who'd  drink the dark and laugh  the day,
 And let their wildest  dreams  blow away.
 Repeat Bridge...
So  now I'm old, I'm wise  and smart;
 I'm  just a man with half  a heart.
 I wonder  how it might  have been
 Had I not cast  my fate  to the wind.

Readable chord sheet for Cast My Fate To The Wind by Vince Guaraldi

[A7]A month of nights, a ye[D]ar of days,

[A7]Octobers drifting in[G]to Mays,

I set[A7] my sail as the t[D]ide comes in

And I just ca[G]st my f[A7]ate to the win[D]d.  [G]     [A7]         [G]             [D]                 [G]                     [A7]

Verse 2...
I sh[A7]ift my course al[D]ong the breeze,

Won't s[A7]ail upwind on me[G]mories,

The e[A7]mpty sky is my b[D]est friend,

And I just c[G]ast my [A7]fate to the wi[D]nd. [G]    [A7]        [G]            [D]                [G]                    [A7]

Bridge...

Ti[A]me has s[D]uch a way of c[G]hanging

A m[A7]an through[D]out the ye[G]ars,

And n[A]ow I'm [D]rearra[G]nging my l[A]ife through a[D]ll my te[G]ars,

A[A9]lone, [D]   [A7]a - lo[D]ne.

Verse 3...
The[A7]re never was, there cou[D]ldn't be

[A7]A place in time for m[G]en like me,

Wh[A7]o'd drink the dark and la[D]ugh the day,

And let their w[G]ildest d[A7]reams blow aw[D]ay.[G]   [A7]       [G]          [D]             [G]                [A7]

Repeat Bridge...

[A7]So now I'm old, I'm wi[D]se and smart;

I'[A7]m just a man with h[G]alf a heart.

I wo[A7]nder how it m[D]ight have been

Had I not c[G]ast my f[A]ate to the wi[D]nd.[G]   [A7]       [G]          [D]             [G]                [A7]                    [G]                        [D]
