The Dawntreader Chords

(ver. 2)
Joni Mitchell
[Intro]
Dm9 Cmaj7sus2 D D4 D
 
[Verse 1]
D5           Dm7        D7sus4
Peridots and periwinkle blue medallions
Dm9                Cmaj7sus2          D    D4    D
    Gilded galleons spilled across the ocean floor
D5                 Dm7            D7sus4
Treasure somewhere in the sea and he will find where
Dm9                 Cmaj7sus2             D       D4  D
    Never mind their questions, there's no answer for
D7sus4          D6     A4
       The roll of the harbor wake
D7sus4           D6       A4
       The songs that the rigging makes
D7sus4           D6      A4
       The taste of the spray he takes
        Gsus2
And he learns to give
                 A4
He aches and he learns to live
                  Bbmaj7
He stakes all his silver
G                    G7sus4
  On a promise to be free
G                  G7sus4
  Mermaids live in colonies
Dm9         Cmaj7sus2       D D4 D
    All his sea dreams come to me
 
[Break]
Dm9 Cmaj7sus2 D D4 D
 
[Verse 2]
D5          Dm7             D7sus4
City satins left at home, I will not need them
Dm9              Cmaj7sus2          D    D4  D
    I believe him when he tells of loving me
D5                 Dm7            D7sus4
Something truthful in the sea your lies will find you
Dm9                    Cmaj7sus2               D    D4  D
    "Leave behind your streets", he said, "And come to me"
D7sus4           D6       A4
       Come down from the neon nights
D7sus4           D6       A4
       Come down from the tourist sights
D7sus4           D6       A4
       Run down 'til the rain delights you
    Gsus2
You do not hide
              A4
Sunlight will renew your pride
            Bbmaj7
Skin white by skin golden
G                     G7sus4
  Like a promise to be free
G                  G7sus4
  Dolphins playing in the sea
Dm9         Cmaj7sus2       D D4 D
    All his sea dreams come to me
 
[Break]
Dm9 Cmaj7sus2 D D4 D
 
[Verse 3]
D5             Dm7           D7sus4
Seabird I have seen you fly above the pilings
Dm9              Cmaj7sus2       D     D4   D
    I am smiling at your circles in the air
D5              Dm7              D7sus4
I will come and sit by you while he lies sleeping
Dm9                      Cmaj7sus2             D         D4   D
    Fold your fleet wings, I have brought some dreams to share
D7sus4          D6       A4
       A dream that you love someone
D7sus4         D6        A4
       A dream that the wars are done
D7sus4          D6       A4                  Gsus2
       A dream that you tell no one but the grey sea
                         A4
They'll say that you're crazy
                Bbmaj7
And a dream of a baby
G                   G7sus4
  Like a promise to be free
G                   G7sus4
  Children laughing out to sea
Dm9     Cmaj7sus2       D D4 D
    All his sea dreams come to me
Dm9     Cmaj7sus2       D D4 D
    All his sea dreams come to me
 
[Outro]
Dm9     Cmaj7sus2       D D4 D
