Joni Mitchell - CAREY
***CAPO 1ST***
CHORDS USED: C G F
[C]The wind is in from Africa
[G]Last night I couldn't sleep
Oh, you know it [F]sure is hard to [C]leave here Carey
But it's [G]really not my home
[C]My fingernails are filthy, [G]I got beach tar on my feet
And I [F]miss my clean white [C]linen and my [G]fancy French cologne
[G]Oh Carey get out your [C]cane
[C]And I'll put on some [G]silver
[F]Oh you're a mean old [G]Daddy, but I like [C]you
[C]Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe and I will [G]buy you a bottle of wine
And we'll [F]laugh and toast to [C]nothing and smash our [G]empty glasses down
Let's have a [C]round for these freaks and these soldiers
A [G]round for these friends of mine
Let's have another [F]round for the bright red [C]devil
Who keeps me i[G]n this tourist town
Come on, Carey, get out your [C]cane
[C]I'll put on some [G]silver
[F]Oh you're a mean old [G]Daddy, but I like [C]you
[C]Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam
Or m[G]aybe I'll go to Rome
And re[F]nt me a grand p[C]iano and put some fl[G]owers 'round my room
But le[C]t's not talk about fare-thee-welIs now
The n[G]ight is a starry dome.
And they're pl[F]ayin' that scratchy r[C]ock and roll
Beneath the M[G]atalla Moon
[G]Come on, Carey, get out your [C]cane
[C]And I'll put on some [G]silver
[F]You're a mean old Da[G]ddy, but I like [C]you
[C]The wind is in from Africa
Last n[G]ight I couldn't sleep
Oh, you know it s[F]ure is hard to leav[C]e here
But, it's re[G]ally not my home
[C]Maybe it's been too long a time
Since I was s[G]cramblin' down in the street
Now they got me u[F]sed to that clean white [C]linen
And that fa[G]ncy French cologne
[G]Oh Carey, get out your [C]cane
[C]I'll put on my finest[G] silver
We'll [F]go to the Mermaid Ca[G]fe
Have fun ton[C]ight
I said, [F]Oh, you're a mean old D[G]addy, but you're out of s[C]ight
