[Dm11] [Eb6/9] [Dm11] [Eb6/9] Verse :

 
 --------

[C6/9]I'm travelling on some vehicle

[Fsus2add4]Sitting in some [F]cafe

A [Fsus2add4]defector from the petty wars

tha[F]t shell shock love[C] away

[C6/9]There's comfort in melancholy

[Fsus2add4]When there's no need [F]to explain

It's just as [Fsus2add4]natural as the w[F]eather

in this moody sky[C] today

In our possessive [Fadd9]coupling

So much could not be ex[C]pressed

So now I am re[Fadd9]turning to myself

These [Gadd9add4]things that you and I supresse[G9add4]d

[Gadd9add4] I see something of myself in [Fadd9]everyone

Just at this moment of the [C]world

As snow gathers like [Gadd9add4]bolts of lace

Waltzing on a [Fadd9]ballroom girl

Then back to the intro chords, and another verse...

 # From the album 'Hejira'
 #
 # Tabbed by Howard Wright
 # H.Wright@uk.ac.cf.astro
 #
 #First things first - the tuning.
 #
 #From low to high it is : CGDFGC
 #In 'Joni' notation this is : C 7 7 3 2 5
 #which means start with a C on the bottom string, tune the
 #5th string to match the 7th fret of the bottom (6th) string, then
 #tune the 4th string to match th 7th fret on the 5th string, and
 #so on up the strings at frets 3,2 and 5
 #I'll just give you the chord shapes - the picking pattern is fairly
 #similar throughout - start by picking out the bottom 3 strings
 #(working from top to bottom) then hit one or two of the top
 #strings. A bit vague I know, but you'll have to listen to the
 #song to catch all the subtlelties.
 #
 #To give you a better idea, here is the intro bit in TAB :
