Below is the tab to the verse. There is some fingerpicking involved in
that part of the song.
For the chorus part, I just gave the chords since they are in the
standard position and you'll really have to hear the recording to get the
strum pattern (that what gives it it's flavor).
This is just approximate. You'll have to listen to the record to get the
exact chordal pattern. When you hear it you'll see (hear) what I mean.
1st guitar on intro:
+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
+--------10-------+--------10-------+--------10-------+--------10-------+
+---7----+---7----+-----7--+----7---+----7---+----7---+----7---+---7----+
+-0------+--------+--0-----+--------+-0------+--------+-0------+--------+
+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
2nd guitar on intro and this following pattern continues throughout the
verse. H = Hammer
RE SOL LAsus4 RE SOL LAsus4
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
+-2---3-2-0---0--+---0-------------+-2---3-2-0---0--+---0-------------+

Verse 1:
I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul.
Where I'll end up, well I think, only God really knows.
Chorus: ??
SOL LA SOL LA RE MIm
I sat upon the setting sun
LA SOL LA SOL LA SOL
I never, never, never, never
LA SOL LA RE MIm
I never wanted water once
A G A D (back to the verse)
I Never, never, never.
Verse2:
I listen to my words but they fall far below.
I let my music take me where my heart wants to go.
SOL LA SOL LA RE MIm
I swam upon the Devil's Lake
LA SOL LA SOL LA SOL
I never, never, never, never
LA SOL LA RE MIm
I'll never make the same mistake
LA SOL LA RE
I Never, never, never.
(Back to the verse guitar pattern. Repeat twice and end.)

Many thanks to Paul Black for posting the TABs for the Steven's songs.
I have a slightly different take on the chorus of the Wind, but Paul's
version is probably more accurate. It's been --mmm- 20 years since I
actually listened to the Wind... Anyway, here's the way I play
the chorus (starting from G):
LA SOL LA RE MI-
I sat upon the setting sun
SOL MI- SOL LAsus4 LA7 SOL
I never, never, never ne ver
LA SOL LA RE MI-
I never wanted water once
SOL MI- LA SOL RE
I never, ne ver never
