Joni Mitchell - The Silky Veils Of Ardor Chords

[Intro]
C      F
F7    Bbsus4
 
[Verse]
        Fm             C9
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Fm        Cmaj7             Bb9
Traveling through all these highs and lows
                      F
I heard there was no sickness
Ab             Bb
And no toil or danger
               F
Just mercy and plenty
                      Fm
Where peaceful waters flow
                C9
Where peaceful waters flow
 
 
[Interlude]
C      F
F7    Bbsus4
 
[Verse]
            Fm               C9
Come all you fair and tender school girls
Fm         Cmaj7          Bb9
Be careful now--when you court young men
                  F
They are like the stars
Ab          Bb
On a summer morning
                    F
They sparkle up the night
            Fm
And they're gone again
          C9
Daybreak--gone again
 
[Interlude]
C      F
F7    Bbsus4
 
 
[Verse]
            Fm                              C9
If I'd only seen through the silky veils of ardor
Fm             Cmaj7       Bb9
What a killing crime this love can be
                           F
I would have locked up my heart
Ab                    Bb
In a golden sheath of armor
                   F
And kept its crazy beating
                Fm
Under strictest secrecy
        C9
High security
 
[Interlude]
C      F
F7    Bbsus4
 
 
[Verse]
                 Fm
I wish I had the wings
                        C9
Of Noah's pretty little white dove
            Fm              Cmaj7
So I could fly this raging river
   Bb9
To reach the one I love
              F
But I have no wings
Ab                  Bb
And the water is so wide
                           F
We'll have to row a little harder
             Fm
It's just in dreams we fly
       C9
In my dreams we fly!
