Here’s the tuning.
>From low to high it is : C G Eb F B D
In ‘Joni’ notation this is : C 7 8 2 5 4
You do need to listen to the song to see how it’s played. I’ve really
only included the bare essentials (the chord shapes, and a couple of
strumming patterns). The song starts off with the bottom C hit really hard,
and the following harmonics:
D—–7—————12—————————|
B—–7——5——–12—————————|
F—–7——5——–12—————————|
Eb———–5——–12—————————|
G————————————————–|
C————————————————–|
This next figure gets used at a couple of points in the song:
Fig A
D—————-0———0—–5—————–|
B—————-0———0—–5—————–|
F—————-0———0—–5—————–|
Eb————-0———0——-5—————–|
G——–5-7-8——-7-8———5—————–|
C——————————–5—————–|
Here’s how the song hangs together:
