[Csus4/G]Don't interrupt the [C/G]sorrow

[C/G] [G] Darn right

[Csus4/G]In flames our [C/G]prophet witches

Be p[G]olite

[Eb/Ab] A room full of glasse[F/Bb]s

[C]He says "Your notches liberati[D]on doll"

[Csus4/G] And he chains me with that [C/G]serpent to that Ethiopian [G]wall

VERSE 2:

 
 ---------

Anima rising

Queen of queens

Wash my guilt of eden

Wash and balance me

He says "Anima rising

uprising in me tonight"

She's a vengeful little goddess

With an ancient crown to fight

...and so on for the other verses.

After the 3rd (or maybe 4th) verse she repeats the INTRO tab above, then

on to another verse or two.

The song ends on a repeated open G chord.

 # Don`t Interrupt The Sorrow - Joni Mitchell

 {eot}
 #
 #
 # from the album 'Hissing of Summer Lawns'
 #
 #
 # tabbed by Howard Wright
 # H.Wright@uk.ac.cf.astro
 #
 #The tuning for this is open G
 #
 #low to high : DGDGBD
 #
 #
 #To get this, tune both E strings down to a D, then tune the A string
 #down to a G
 #
 #
 #For this song I'll just tab the intro because most of the song just
 #uses a few chord shapes so it's quicker to just give the shapes
 #instead of tabbing the whole thing. I've only given a rough idea of
 #the strumming pattern - so as usual : get tuned up, learn the shapes
 #then play along to the track and you shouldn't have any problems.

 #Try to keep the same feel for the verses - although I haven't written
 #out a lot of chord changes, she tends to play a lot of short open G chords
 #"between" changes, using hammer-ons and pull-offs. The line of TAB
 #above should give you the right idea - although the basic progression is
 #just : Csus4/G C/G G she puts in extra G chords on the open strings
 #to fill it out.
 #
 #Use this idea throughout.
