Joni Mitchell - Case Of You guitar tab

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
