- From: spxhaw@thor.cf.ac.uk (Howard Wright \(Hman\))
-
- 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
