Mitchell Joni - Circle Game guitar tab

#

I apologize but the last version I sent to you had several errors in it.

Please replace it with this one:

This was arranged by Steve Putz. I added an intro and ending and

indicated the chord changes in the rest of the verses. I removed a C

chord that Steve indicated was to be played after each verse because it

didnt sound right to me but you may wish to add it back in. -Mathew

Circle Game

-Joni Mitchell

Intro: G/Am7/G/D7

Y[G]esterday a [C] child came out to w[G]onder,

Caught a dragonf[C]ly inside a j[D7]ar.

Fe[G]arful when the s[C]ky is full of th[Bm]under,

And te[C]earful at the fa[G]lling [Am7] of a st[G]ar.

Chorus:

[G] And the seasons, they go [Am7]round and r[G]ound,

And the painted poinies go [Am7]up and d[G]own.

[C] Were captive on the carousel of t[G]ime.

[C] We cant return, we can only look be[Bm]hind

From where we c[C]ame,

And go r[G]ound and round and r[Am7]ound in the circle g[G]ame. [C] [G]

Then the child moved t[C]en times round the s[G]easons,

Skated over t[C]en clear frozen str[D7]eams.

[G]Words like, when youre ol[C]der,

Must a[Bm]ppease him,

And pr[C]omises of s[G]omeday m[Am7]ke his dr[G]eams.

Sixteen springs and s[C]ixteen summers g[G]one now,

Cartwheels turn to c[C]ar wheels through the t[D7]own.

And they t[G]ell him take your t[C]ime,

It wont be l[Bm]ong now,

Til you d[C]rag your feet to s[Am7]low the circle d[G]own.

[G] So the years spin by and n[C]ow the boy is t[G]wenty,

Though his dreams have lost some g[C]randeur coming t[D7]rue.

Therell be n[G]ew dreams, maybe b[C]etter dreams, and p[Bm]lenty,

Be[C]fore the last rev[G]olving y[Am7]ear is t[G]hrough.

end [D7] [G]
