From: Paul Fullam <ptf@che.rochester.edu> Subject: CRD: "Marcie" - Joni Mitchell I am fairly sure I've got the chord shapes right or this one..... however, the names are a different story altogether. .....if someone could correct the mistakes I may have made in the names I'd appreciate it Also, I'm leaving the right hand fingering for the player to work out for him/herself....its fairly easy...basically arpeggio style (with some strumming) and picked up easily by listening to the song .....thanks to Howard Wright for the tuning ----------------------------------- MARCIE by Joni Mitchell from Song to a Seagull ----------------------------------- Tuning: (from low to high) D G D G B D.......open G there are two distinct chord progressions used in this song which I call Patterns 1 & 2. Pattern 1:

^Gm7Marcie in the q^A7uilt of flowers ^C6add2Steps inside a ^Gca^Cadd2ndy st^Gore ^Gm7Reds are sweet and ^A7greens are sour ^C6add2Still no letter ^Gat^Cadd2 her d^Goor^G ^Cadd2 ^G ^D#So she'll wash her ^Dflower curtains ^CHang them in the wi^Bnd to dry ^Gm7Dust her tables ^A7with his shirt and ^C6add2wave another ^Gda^Cadd2y good^Gbye^G ^Cadd2 ^G

G Cadd2 G G Cadd2 G ........repeat Pattern 1 for the following : Marcie's faucet needs a plumber Marcie's sorrow needs a man Red is autumn, green is summer Greens are turning and the sand All along the ocean beaches stares up empty at the sky Marcie buys a bag of peaches stops a postman passing by Pattern 2 :

^Gmaj7And summer goes, falls to the sidewalk like ^Cstring and brown paper ^Gmaj7Winter blows up from the river There's ^Cno one to to take her...... ^Gto the^A7 se^C6add2a ^G ^Cadd2 ^G ^Gm7 ^A7 ^C6add2 ^G ^Cadd2 ^G

.........use Pattern 1 for the following : Marcie dresses warm, its snowing takes a yellow cab uptown red is stop and green's for going Sees a show and rides back down Down along the Hudson River Past the shipyards in the cold still no letter's been delivered still the winter's days unfold .......and Pattern 2 for this : Like magazines fading in dusty grey attics and servers make a dream Dream back to summer and all he tells her Wait for me .......back to Pattern 1 for : Marcie leaves and doesn't tell us Where, why she moved away Red is angry, green is jealous that was all she had to say Someone thought they saw her Sunday window shopping in the rain Some heard she bought a one-way ticket and went west again CHORDS : DGDGBD DGDGBD DGDGBD DGDGBD x33030 x22022 x22010 x02010
