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 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) DGDGBD.......open G
there are two distinct chord progressions used in this song which I call Patterns 1 & 2.
Pattern 1:
Gm7A7 Marcie in the quilt of flowers C6add2 G Cadd2 G Steps inside a candy store Gm7A7 Reds are sweet and greens are sour C6add2 G Cadd2 GG Cadd2 G Still no letter at her door D#D So she'll wash her flower curtains CB Hang them in the wind to dry Gm7A7 Dust her tables with his shirt and C6add2 G Cadd2 GG Cadd2 G wave another day goodbye
G Cadd2 GG 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 : Gmaj7C(2) And summer goes, falls to the sidewalk like string
and brown paper Gmaj7 Winter blows up from the river C(2) There's no one to to take her...... G(2)A7 C6add2 G Cadd2 GGm7A7 C6add2 G Cadd2 G to the sea
.........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
