These are the (easy) chords for Free Man in Paris (Joni`s version anyway).

Free Man in Paris
=================

Words and Music by Joni Mitchell


A D
The way I see it he said, you just can`t win it,
C G
Everybody`s in it for their own gain; you can`t please `em all,
F A
There`s always somebody putting you down,
D
I do my best and I do good business,
C
There`s a lot of people asking for my time,
G
They`re tryin` to get ahead;
F A
they`re tryin` to be a good friend of mine,

Chorus
F
I was a free man in Paris,
G
I felt unfettered and alive,
C Asus4
There was nobody callin` me up for favours
A
and no-ones future to decide,
F
You know I`d go back there tomorrow
G C
but for the work I`ve taken on,
Asus4 D A
stokin` the star maker machinary behind the popular songs.

Instrumental bit ... (mix it about a bit!)

Em9 A Em9 A Em9 A

C D F C D G A C D F C D G A


Verse 2:

A D
I deal in dreamers and telephone screamers,
C G
Lately I wonder what I do it for; if I had my way,
F A
I`d just walk through those doors, and wan-der,
D
down the Champs Elysees;
C
going cafe to cabaret, thinking
G
how I`d feel when I find,
F A
that very good friend of mine



Chorus:

End instrumental bit ...

A C D F C D G A

tabbed by Howard Wright

Tuning : open D

From low to high that is - D A D F A D

So you can leave your A and D strings - all the others go down either
a semitone or a tone.

NOTE: For the verse and chorus I`ll just put down the chord shapes once
each time the chord changes. Check out the record for details on strumming

Repeat this last line once

(p=pull off)

Then play the intro again, and into the second verse


Verse 2
--------

I deal in dreamers and telephone screamers
lately I wonder what I do it for, if I had my way
I`d just walk out the door and wander
Down the Champs Elysees
Going cafe to cabaret
Wandering how I`d feel when I find that very good friend of mine


Chorus
------

repeat the last tab line of the chorus, as before, then go back
to the intro bit.
Play this four times, and that`s it !



Howard
