"Free Man In Paris" by Joni Mitchell Note: Joni Mitchell changes octaves in the smoothest way ever, and she often "slides" her voice into the next chord. ie; from regular A, to barred A, imo. You need to really listen to this song a lot, to get the rhythm changes of her vocals to match the strum pattern. The intro and the instrumental are just my "campfire version", with no intent of exactness. The "lick" right after verse 1 is probably best skipped for one guitar, unless you're a pro, which I am not. Your tips are welcomed, as this is my first tab or chord rendition. Standard Tuning +++++++++++++++++ Odd Chords Em9 x20002 Asus4 x2220x (or try Am) bA = barred A on the 5th fret INTRO: (barre the F,G, and A) One strum: C D F F...
