SEX KILLS- Joni Mitchell

TUNING: C G Bb Eb F Bb or D A C F G C or E B D G A D

E9 F#m7+5 E9 F#m7+5

Bm7+5 Bm7+5

I pulled up behind a Cadillac, we were waiting for the light

F#m7+5 F#m7+5

And I took a look at his license plate, it said "JUST ICE"

Bm7+5 Bm7+5

Is justice just ice? Governed by greed and lust?

F#m7+5 F#m7+5

Just the strong doing what they can and the weak suffering what they must?

CHORUS:

D11 E11 D11 E11

And the gas leaks, and the oil spills

D11 E11 E9 F#m7+5

And sex sells everything, sex kills

E9 F#m7+5

Whoa sex kills

Doctor's pills give you brand new ills and the bills bury you like an

avalanche

Lawyers haven't been this popular since Robespierre slaughtered half of

France

And Indian chiefs with their old beliefs know, the balance is undone,

crazy ions

You can feel it out in traffic, everyone hates everyone

CHORUS

All these jackoffs at the office, the rapist in the pool

Oh and the tragedies in the nurseries, little kids packin' guns to school

The ulcerated ozone, these tumors of the skin

This hostile sun beatin down on this massive mess we're in

CHORUS

Sex kills

Oh sex kills

Sex kills

NOTE: Before each chord (except E11 and D11) play this riff:

A --------

D --------

G --------

D --------

B -3/5----(then the chord)

E -----0--

Also, Joni plays this all the way down in C G Bb Eb G Bb, but noone's

going to be the wiser if you play it in E B D G A D, the same tuning as

Crosby, Stills and Nash's Guinnevere and much easier to tune to. And

thanks to Howard who has already posted the gist of this earlier.
