Court And Spark Chords

(ver. 1)
Joni Mitchell
I'm 100% sure these chords are completely accurate. I've played this song on the piano
many times and it sounds awesome.


Intro:
E   D   E G     Em7

Em7
Love came to my door
      A7Sus4
With a sleeping roll
      D/A
And a madman's soul
               B7sus4
He thought for sure I'd seen him
Gmaj9                      A
Dancing up a river in the dark
                      C    G    A/E   
Looking for a woman to court and spark

A/E  E  D/E  E    A/E  E  D/E  E   A/E  E  D/E   A/E  E  D/E    E

        Em7
He was playing on the sidewalk
      A7Sus4
For passing change
                D/A
When something strange happened
       B7sus4
Glory train passed through him
      Gmaj9
So he buried the coins he made
             A
In People's Park
                               C    G    A/E 
And went looking for a woman to court and spark

A/E  E  D/E  E    A/E  E  D/E  E   A/E  E  D/E   A/E  E  D/E    E

    C                       G
It seemed like he read my mind
                  D
He saw me mistrusting him
                   A
And still acting kind
                C           G
He saw how I worried sometimes
             A/D
I worry sometimes

A/D(6x)  A/E  E  D/E    A/E  E  D/E    A/E  E  D/E    A/E  E  D/E    E

Em7
"All the guilty people," he said
       A7Sus4
They've all seen the stain
          D/A
On their daily bread
                   B7sus4   Bm
On their christian names
   Gmaj7
I cleared myself
                 A
I sacrificed my blues
                   C     G
And you could complete me
             A/E
I'd complete you

A/E  E  D/E  E    A/E  E  D/E  E   A/E  E  D/E   A/E  E  D/E    E

    Em7
His eyes were the colour of the sand
A7Sus4
And the sea
          D/A
And the more he talked to me, you know
         B9sus4
The more he reached me
       Gmaj9               A
But I couldn't let go of L.A.
            C   G  A/D    
City of the fallen angels

A/E  E  D/E (6x)  End on E
