Tuning: E A D G B E
Song: Don´t Interrupt The Sorrow Music/Lyrics: Joni Mitchell Artist: Morrissey Chord proposal: Mats Fagergren, 2020. Remark: Normally this famous song from Joni Mitchell require that you tune your guitar like this : DGDGBD. That specific tuning does not work in the Morrissey version, so I stick to std tuning. There are however several similarities with Joni´s original version and that is the "add11-chords" that gives this song its special harmoney-charcter. It is rather tricky to here which chord the strumming guitar play in the Morrissey version, I have tried to summarize the guitars and the base to "one" chord(guitar)..which lead to some "errors" , so I am opend to constructive feedback regarding the chord proposals below The chords I propose shall be played according to my instructions .
