Joni Mitchell (nacida como Roberta Joan Anderson el 7 de noviembre de 1943, en Alberta) es una músico y pintora canadiense. Comenzó su carrera musical en Toronto y en el oeste de Canadá, relacionándose posteriormente con la floreciente escena de folk de Nueva York de mediados de los sesenta. A lo largo de los años 70 amplió sus horizontes musicales, dirigiendo en especial su interés hacia el pop y el jazz, para convertirse en una de las cantantes y compositoras más respetadas de finales del siglo XX.

I still havn't convinced myself 100% whether she uses the Dm7/G chord AND the Gm11 chord - they're almost identical. In fact I think she just uses the simpler shape (i.e Dm7/G) - but if you like the variation you can use both shapes.
I'm going to be lazy again and not write out all the words (I can't remember many of them) - but I'll write out a few phrases I can remember so you know where the changes come.
Here are the main progressions :
Intro : --------
Bb6/9-5 Em7/ADadd9Bb6/9-5 Em7/A
The outtro uses the same three chords repeating over and over.
Verse : -------
Dm7Em7/ABb6/9-5 The big man arrives disco dancers greet him
Dm7/GBb6/9-5 Plain clothes cops greet him small town big man, fresh lipstick glistening
Dm7Em7/ABb6/9-5 Sophomore jive beating frantic and snowblind
Dm7/GDadd9 Dadd9add4 Romantic and snowblind he says his crime belongs
Bb6/9-5 Em7/A His eyes hold edith his left hand holds his right
Fmaj7sus2 Bb6/9-5 Em7/AA9Em7/AA9 What does that hand desire that he grips it so tight
If I've mixed up words from several verses then forgive me ! As long as you see how the chords fit the words/tune then it should be easy.
