Case of You - Joni Mitchell

From the album 'Blue'

tabbed by Howard Wright

[email protected]

NOTE :

-------

The original has one guitar part and a part for another instrument,

(dulcimer ? ) which uses an open tuning of some kind, and plays

the introduction bit. I've worked out a way of playing this on

guitar using an alternative tuning, and I've also written out

chord shapes which work well for standard tuning. (All chord shapes

given at the end). Please note - I've written the chord names for

normal tuning above the TAB for alternative-tuning. The chord names

do not neccessarily correspond to what the TAB plays.

Words are written under the corresponding TAB - I've tried to put the

chord changes in the right place with respect to the words, but it might

not be 100% accurate.

The dulcimer part using alternative tuning is basically the same for each

verse - but I only tabbed it once for the first verse.

- slide

h - hammer on

p - pull off

Intro:

-------

Verse 1:

Just before our love got lost you said

I am as constant as a northern star and I said

Constantly in the darkness, where's that at ?

If you want me I'll be in the bar

On the back of a cartoon coa - ster

In the blue TV screen light

I drew a map of Canada

Oh Ca - na - da

With your face sketched on it twice

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine

Taste so bitter and so sweet oh

I could drink a case of you darling and I would

still be on my feet oh I would still be on my

fee - ee - eet

Verse 2:

Oh I am a lonely painter

I live in a box of paints

I'm frightened by the devil

And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid

I remember that time you told me you said love is touching souls

Surely you touched mine cos

Part of you pours out of me

In these lines from time to time

Oh You're in my blood like holy wine

Taste so bitter and so sweet

oh I could drink a case of you darling

Still I'd be on my feet

I would still be on my

fee - ee - eet

Verse 3:

I met a woman she had a mouth like yours she knew your life

She knew your devils and your deeds and she said

Go to him, stay with him if you can

But be prepared to bleed

Oh but you are in my blood you're my holy wine

You're so bitter

Bitter and so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you darling

Still I'd be on my feet

I would still be on

my fee - eet
