EDITH AND THE KINGPIN Joni Mitchell I would not disagree with Howard Wright, and disagree ever so slightly with version 2, but this is how I play it. It is a bit easier and more simple to play on piano or Guitar and Bass INTRO Cm7 / Abmaj7 / Bb2add6 / Cm7 Repeat

Edith in the ring The passed-over girls are conferring The man with the diamond ring is purring All claws for now withdrawn One by one they bring His renegade stories to her His crimes and his glories to her In challenge they look on Women he has taken grow old too soon He tilts their tired faces Gently to the spoon Edith in his bed A plane in the rain is humming The wires in the walls are humming Some song-some mysterious song Bars in her head Beating frantic and snowblind Romantic and snowblind She says-his crime belongs Edith and the Kingpin Each with charm to sway Are staring eye to eye They dare not look away You know they dare not look away CODA Cm7 / Abmaj7 / Bb2add6 / Cm7 Repeat
