Joni Mitchell - CAREY
***CAPO 1ST***
CHORDS USED: C G F
C
The wind is in from Africa
G
Last night I couldn't sleep
F C
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here Carey
G
But it's really not my home
C G
My fingernails are filthy, I got beach tar on my feet
F C G
And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne
G C
Oh Carey get out your cane
C G
And I'll put on some silver
F G C
Oh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you
C G
Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe and I will buy you a bottle of wine
F C G
And we'll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down
C
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
G
A round for these friends of mine
F C
Let's have another round for the bright red devil
G
Who keeps me in this tourist town
C
Come on, Carey, get out your cane
C G
I'll put on some silver
F G C
Oh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you

C
Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam
G
Or maybe I'll go to Rome
F C G
And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers 'round my room
C
But let's not talk about fare-thee-welIs now
G
The night is a starry dome.
F C
And they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll
G
Beneath the Matalla Moon
G C
Come on, Carey, get out your cane
C G
And I'll put on some silver
F G C
You're a mean old Daddy, but I like you
C
The wind is in from Africa
G
Last night I couldn't sleep
F C
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here
G
But, it's really not my home
C
Maybe it's been too long a time
G
Since I was scramblin' down in the street
F C
Now they got me used to that clean white linen
G
And that fancy French cologne
G C
Oh Carey, get out your cane
C G
I'll put on my finest silver
F G
We'll go to the Mermaid Cafe
C
Have fun tonight
F G C
I said, Oh, you're a mean old Daddy, but you're out of sight
Love this song! From Joni Mitchell's album 'Blue'
