Let the Wind Carry Me Joni Mitchell
[Em]Papa’s faith is [D/E]people,
[D]Mama, she believes [C] in [Em]cleanin’.
[Gm7/D] Papa’s [F/D]faith is in peo[Gm7/D]- - -ple,
[F/D] [Gm7/D] [F/D] [Gm7/D] [F/D]
Ma- -ma, she’s al- - - - - -ways clea- - - -nin’.
Papa [F]brought home the sugar,
Mama [Eb]taught me the dee[Gm7/D]- - -per meanin’.
F/D – Gm7/D – Gsus2 – G – Cmaj7
[Gm7/D]She don’t like my [F/D]kick-pleat skirt,
Eb Gm7/D F/D – Gm7/D – F/D
She don’t like my eyelids pain-ted green
[Em7]She don’t like me stayin’ [D/E]up late in my [Em7]high-heeled shoes, [D/E]
Livin’ for that [Em7]rock-n’-roll [D/E] dancin’ [Em7]scene.
[D/E] Papa says, “[D]Leave the girl alone mother,
[C] She’s lookin’ like a Mo-[Em] - vie Queen.”
[Gm7/D]Mama thinks she [F/D]spoilt me.
Eb Gm7/D F/D – Gm7/D – F/D
Papa knows somehow he set me free
[Em7]Mama thinks she spoilt me [D/E]rotten
She [Em7]blames herself [D/E]
But [Em7]Papa, he [D/E] blesses [Em7]me.
[D/E] It’s a [D]rough road to travel, Mama
[C]Let go now, it’s [Em] always called for me.
Some-[Em]times I get that [D/E]feeling
And I [D]want to settle and raised a [C] child up [Em]with somebody.
[Gm7/D] I [F/D]get that strong long[Gm7/D]- - -ing
And I [F/D]want to [Gm7/D]set- tle and [F/D]raise a child[Gm7/D] up with som[F/D]ebody
But it [F]passes like the summer
I’m a [Eb]wild seed again, let the wind carry me.
Gm7/D – F/D – Gm7/D – Gsus2 – G – Cmaj7
