Windy
"Windy"
(Ruthann Friedman)
Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
Written by our good friend and "Den Mother", Ruthann Friedman, this song (Texts of songs )
Successfully bridged the generation gap. From toddlers to grandmothers,
Its appeal was almost universal. One of those rare songs that everyone
Knew was a hit, before we left the studio.

Calling a name that's lighter than air
F Ebadd2 Bb Csus4
Who's bending down to give me a rainbow

Everyone knows it's Windy
