Chord/Tab song: Hejira

Chord,Tablature, lyric, sheet, guitar, ukulele song: Hejira - ( Hejira - Joni Mitchell From the album 'Hejira' Tabbed...)

--
Hejira - Joni Mitchell


---------------------------------------


From the album 'Hejira'

Tabbed by Howard Wright

First things first - the tuning.

From low to high it is : CGDFGC

In 'Joni' notation this is : C 7 7 3 2 5

which means start with a C on the bottom string, tune the
5th string to match the 7th fret of the bottom (6th) string, then
tune the 4th string to match th 7th fret on the 5th string, and
so on up the strings at frets 3,2 and 5

I'll just give you the chord shapes - the picking pattern is fairly
similar throughout - start by picking out the bottom 3 strings
(working from top to bottom) then hit one or two of the top
strings. A bit vague I know, but you'll have to listen to the
song to catch all the subtlelties.

To give you a better idea, here is the intro bit in TAB :



C---------------------------------------0----------|
G---------------------------------------0----------|
F---------0------------0------------0---------0----|
D-------2----2-------2----2-------2---2-----2------|
G-----2------------2------------2------------------|
C--2------------2------------2---------------------|
C-------------------------------------------0--------|
G-------------------------------------------0--------|
F----------0-------------0------------0----------0---|
D-------3----3--------3----3-------3-----3-----3-----|
G-----3-------------3------------3-------------------|
C--3-------------3------------3----------------------|


You should get the feel of the picking from this.

By the way - don't be put off by the weird looking chord names.
The names are tricky, but the shapes are easy !

Intro :


-------


[Dm11] [Eb6/9] [Dm11] [Eb6/9]
Verse :


--------


[C6/9]I'm travelling on some vehicle

[Fsus2add4]Sitting in some [F]cafe

A [Fsus2add4]defector from the petty wars

tha[F]t shell shock love[C] away

[C6/9]There's comfort in melancholy

[Fsus2add4]When there's no need [F]to explain

It's just as [Fsus2add4]natural as the w[F]eather

in this moody sky[C] today

In our possessive [Fadd9]coupling

So much could not be ex[C]pressed

So now I am re[Fadd9]turning to myself

These [Gadd9add4]things that you and I supresse[G9add4]d

[Gadd9add4] I see something of myself in [Fadd9]everyone

Just at this moment of the [C]world

As snow gathers like [Gadd9add4]bolts of lace

Waltzing on a [Fadd9]ballroom girl

Then back to the intro chords, and another verse...
