PEOPLE'S PARTIES - Joni Mitchell

------------------------------------------

tabbed by Howard Wright

Tune guitar to open D

From low to high : DADF#AD

Please note that the strumming pattern is only approximate. The shapes

are the main thing - I've indicated roughly how many times each is

strummed but this isn't 100% accurate.

The same with the words - the changes should match up fairly well with

the words but listen to the record to get the detail.

/ means slide

Some are friendly, some are cutting, some are watching it from the wings

D-----------0----0--0--0---0--0----------0----------0--0----------

A-----------0----0--0--0---0--0----------0----------0--0----------

F#----------1/3--3--3--3---1--0----------1----------1--1------------

D-----------2/4--4--4--4---2--0----------2----------2--2-------------

A----------------------------------------0----------0--0--------

D----------------------------------------------------------

Some are standing in the centre giving to get something

The rest follows almost exactly the same pattern - the only real

difference is at the end with the lines 'laughing it all away' :

D---0-------0---0-----0--0-------0----0--0--------0---0-0-0-0-0--0---

A---0-------0---0-----0--0-------0----0--0--------0---0-0-0-0-0--0---

F#--1-------1---0-----0--0-------1----1--1--------1/3-3-3-3-1-0--1---

D---2-------2---9-----9--9-------2----2--2--------2/4-4-4-4-2-0--2---

A---0-------0---9-----9--9-------2----2--2-----------------------0---

D---------------9-----9--9-------2----2--2--------------------------

Laughing it all away - ay - ay - ay-ay-ay

This repeats three times (I think) then it goes :

D----5-----------3---0---------

A----5-----------3---0---------

F#---5-----------3---0---------

D----5-----------3---0----------

A----5-----------3---0----------

D----5-----------3---0----------

Laughing it all away

That's all !
