My Old Man Joni Mitchell
[VERSE 1]
[D] My old [E7sus]man, he's a singer in the pa[D]rk[A] [D] [A]
[D] He's a walker in the [E7sus]rain,
he's a dancer in the dar[D]k[A7sus] [Am7]
[D]We don't need no piece of [A7sus]paper from the [A7]City Hall [D]
Keeping us t[E7]ied and [D]true
[D] My old [E7sus]man, keeping away my bl[D]ues[A] [D] [A]
[VERSE 2]
[D]He's my s[E7sus]unshine in the morning, he's my fireworks at the end of th[D]e da[A]y[D] [A]
[D]He's the warmest chord I e[E7sus]ver heard
Play that warm chord, play[D] and[A7sus] stay b[Am7]aby
[D]We don't need no piece of [A7sus]paper from the [A7]City Hall [D]
Keeping us t[E7]ied and [D]true
[D] My old [E7sus]man, keeping away my bl[D]ues[A] [D] [A]
[BRIDGE*]
But when he's [Abm7]gone, me and them lonesome blu[Bbm]es [Gbmaj7] collide
The [Db]bed's too b[Dbm7]ig, the f[B]rying pan's too wide
(*Reminder: bridge chords:

[VERSE 3]
[D]Then he comes [E7sus]home, and he takes me in his l[D]ovin[A]g ar[D]ms[A]
[D]And he tells me all his tr[E7sus]oubles
And he tells me all my cha[D]rms[A7sus] [Am7]
[D]We don't need no piece of [A7sus]paper from the [A7]City Hal[D]l
Keeping us t[E7]ied and [D]true, no
[D] My old [E7sus]man, keeping away my bl[D]ues[A] [D] [A]
