Case of You - Joni Mitchell
-------------------------------
From the album `Blue`
tabbed by Howard Wright
spxhaw@uk.ac.cf.thor
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.
For the dobro/dulcimer part use EADAAD tuning, i.e tune B down to A
and G up to A.
- slide
h - hammer on
p - pull off
