I believe this is the picking pattern for the opening part of song. It is repeated at end of verses.

[Verse #1]
G C G
I watch the wind blow brown leaves to the ground
C F D7
And blow along the side-walks of this town
G C G Em
I can see the wind as it blew her hair time and time again
C D7 G
Oh what I'd give Lord to be the wind
[Verse #2]
C G
Oh what I'd give to be the wind
C D7
To be free to leave this awful place I'm in
G C G Em
It's hopeless cause I haven't got a penny or a friend
C D7 G
Oh what I'd give Lord to be the wind
[Verse #3]
C G
This same wind tomorrow will be gone
C F D7
To blow across the cotton fields of home
G C G Em
It will gently touch the lovely face I long to touch again
C D7 G
Oh what I'd give Lord to be the wind
Repeat [Verse #2]
