Tuning: FFCGAc

First of, I found the tuning and most chords for this song on the excellent 
website tabsntunings.com. Go there for 

a couple of really great Joni Mitchell tabs. Personally though, it really helps me 
to see the finger-picking 

pattern as well, so I decided to transcribe it.

THE CHORDS:
 Bbm6 (x13023@1)    Gm (355333@1)Fadd9(sus4) Dadd9 (x43141@2)  Cadd9 (x32030@1)    F7 (131241@1)   Bbadd9 (135211@6) Am7c|0--------0--------0--------9--------7--------0(3)-----5-------0(4)----------| (x02010@1)A|4--------1--------0(1)-----9--------7--------3--------5-------3------------|

This will be your basic finger-picking pattern for the entire song. There are 
minor variations, particularly when 

it comes to the first half of the verses when you play the Dadd9 and Cadd9 chords, 
so if you insist on playing it 

excactly like Joni, you'll have to figure out those for yourself.

THE SONG (again, thanks go to tabsntunings.com):

Dadd9 (x43141@2)name="chord_x43141@2">Dadd9

Dadd9 (x43141@2)                               Cadd9Funny (x32030@1)day, looking for laughter and finding it there
Dadd9 (x43141@2)                                F7Sunny (131241@1)day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair
Bbadd9 (135211@6)                                Am7Picked (x02010@1)up a pencil and wrote 'I love you' in my finest hand
Bbm6 (x13023@1)                   Gm (355333@1)   Fadd9(sus4)
Wanted to send it but I don't know where I stand

Dadd9...
Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new
All alone in California and talking to you
And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned
I guess it's too early, 'cause I don't know where I stand.

Aadd9 (x02420@1)          Gadd9 (135211@3)         Bbm6 (x13023@1)              Gm (355333@1)           Fadd9(sus4)
Do do do do do do dooooo			do do do do do do do do do do do do

Dadd9...
Crickets call, courting their ladies in stardappled green
Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream
All muted and misty, so drowsy now, I'll take what sleep I can
I know that I miss you but I don't know where I stand (2x)

Aadd9 (x02420@1)    Gadd9 (135211@3)            Bbm6 (x13023@1)    Gm (355333@1)    Fadd9(sus4)       Dadd9 (x43141@2)   Cadd9 (x32030@1) Abadd9 (135211@4) Gadd9 (135211@3)  Do do do do do 				   do do do do do do doooooo
