The Dawntreader Chords

(ver. 1)
Joni Mitchell
[Intro]
Dm7 C7sus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus4

[Verse One]

D            Dm7                D7sus4
Peridots and periwinkle blue medallions
Dm7             C7sus2                   D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Gilded galleons spilled across the ocean floor
D                         Dm7                   D7sus4
Treasure somewhere in the sea and he will find where
 Dm7                C7sus2                D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Never mind their questions there's no answer for
D7   D6          Asus4
The roll of the harbour wake
D7   D6            Asus4
The songs that the rigging makes
D7    D6           Asus4
The taste of the spray he takes
        Bm
And he learns to give
                 G
He aches and he learns to live
                  Bb
He stakes all his silver
G                   
On a promise to be free
                   Bm
Mermaids live in colonies
Dm7        C7sus2         D Dsus4 D Dsus4
All his seadreams come to me

[Verse Two]

D            Dm7                    D7sus4
City satins left at home I will not need them
Dm7            C7sus2           D Dsus4 D Dsus4
I believe him when he tells of loving me
 D                  Dm7             D7sus4
Something truthful in the sea your lies will find you
Dm7               C7sus2                D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Leave behind your streets he said and come to me
D7     D6           Asus4
Come down from the neon nights
D7     D6           Asus4
Come down from the tourist sights
D7     D6           Asus4
Run down till the rain delights you
     Bm
You do not hide
              G
Sunlight will renew your pride
               Bb
Skin white by skin golden
G                      
Like a promise to be free
                       Bm
Dolphins playing in the sea
Dm7      C7sus2            D Dsus4 D Dsus4
All his seadreams come to me

[Verse Three]

D               Dm7            D7sus4
Seabird I have seen you fly above the pilings
Dm7           C7sus2          D Dsus4 D Dsus4
I am smiling at your circles in the air
D                Dm7             D7sus4
I will come and sit by you while he lies sleeping
Dm7                   C7sus2               D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Fold your fleet wings I have brought some dreams to share
D7   D6          Asus4
A dream that you love someone
D7    D6         Asus4
A dream that the wars are done
D7     D6        Asus4                 Bm
A dream that you tell no one but the grey sea
                         G
They'll say that you're crazy
                  Bb
And a dream of a baby
G                      
Like a promise to be free
                    Bm
Children laughing out to sea
Dm7      C7sus2           D Dsus4 D Dsus4
All his seadreams come to me
 Dm7     C7sus2            D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
All his seadreams come to me
