Blonde in the Bleachers Joni Mitchell
The [Am/D]blonde in the bleachers, she [Am7]flips her hair for you,
A-[Fmaj7]bove the loudspeakers you [Dmaj7/G]start to [G]fall. [Dmaj7/G] [G]
She [Bm]follows you [F#m/B]home, but you [A]miss livin’ a-[E/A]lone
You can [F#m7]still hear sweet mysteries [Bm7] cal-[E]ling [Esus4]you.
The [C]bands and the roadies, [D/C]lo- vin’ ‘em and [C]lea- vin’ ‘em
It’s [Emaj7] pleasure to [E6sus4]try ‘em, it’s [Cmaj7/F] trouble to [F]keep ‘em. [A/D]
‘Cause it seems [Am] like you’ve [Em7sus2]got- - -ta give [A]up
Such a [Em7sus2]piece of your [Am7]soul when you [Em]give up the [F#m]chase.
Feeling it hot [Dsus2] and [D]cold, you’re in rock [Bm]‘n’ roll,
Esus4 A E/A – A – E/A - A
It’s the na- - ture of the race.
[Bm/A] [A] It’s the [Dsus2]un- - known [D]child, so sweet and [Bm]wild,
Esus4 A E/A – A – E/A - A
It’s youth, it’s too good to waste.
E/A – Am/D – Am7 – Fmaj7
Dmaj7/G – G – Dmaj7/G – G – Cmaj7/F – F
[Fmaj7] She [D]tapes her re-[Bm7]grets to the [Bm7/E]mi- - crophone [A]stand [E/A]
[A] She says, “You [Dsus2]can’t hold the [Bm7]hand of a
[Bm7/E]rock ‘n’ roll [A]man ve-[E/A]ry [A]long,
Or [Dsus2]count on your [Bm7]plans with a
[Bm7/E]rock ‘n’ roll [A]man ve-[E/A]ry [A]long,
Com-[Dsus2]pete with the [Bm7]fans for your
[Bm7/E]rock ‘n’ roll [A]man for ve-[E/A]ry [A]long,
The [Dsus2]girls and the [Bm7]bands and the [Bm7/E]rock ‘n’ roll [A] [Am7]man.”
