Joni Mitchell - Good Friends Chords & Tabs

Good Friends


                    Aadd9
I have to come and see you--



Maybe once or twice a year--


                              F#m7         E/F# F#m7
I think nothing would suit me better



(Right now)



Than some downtown atmosphere ...


Em7  D/E                             E
          In the dance halls and the galleries


Em7  D/E                       
           Or betting in the OTB


Am7     G/A         Am7   G/A
Synchro nized--like magic


                     D/A
Good friends you and me


E/A                        A
     The sun goes down in Jersey


     E/A              A
Rises over Little Italy--


                             E/F#           F#m7  
We could talk it up 'til the block gets up


E/F#   F#m7
Mmmm   Mmmm   Swapping stories


Em7           D/E                     E
     Sitting around in some all night zoo



Em7         D/E
Watching it run like a movie


C/D    G/D         C/D   G/D
Synchronized--like magic


                     D
Good friends you and me


Bm7              D/F#
    No hearts of gold


   D         D/A   A           D/A  
No nerves of steel


Bm7                      D/E  E             D/A
    No blame for what we can     and cannot feel


|[ch]Bb/C[/ch]        |          |            |             |


E/A                        A
    But now it's cloak and dagger


     E/A                  A
Walk on eggshells and analyze


                   E/F#   F#m7      E/F#   F#m7
Every particle of difference        oooo   oooo



Gets like mountains in our eyes

Em7     D/E                      E
        You say,     "You're unscrupulous!"


Em7      D/E
You say,     "You're naive!"


C/D     G/D         C/D    G/D

   Sometimes change comes at you


       E/A           A
Like a broadside accident


                      E/F#   F#m7 
There is chaos to the order


E/F# F#m7               E/F#
      Random things you can't prevent


Em7  D/E                                     E
          There could be trouble around the corner


Em7  D/E                                  
         There could be beauty down the street

No hearts of gold
