Sweet Bird Acoustic Chords

(ver. 1)
Joni Mitchell
Intro: Bm7(6) Em7  Bm7(6) Em7 [repeat] G C

C9                     Em9
Out on some borderline
F/G                     C
Some mark of in between
C9              G      Bb/Eb
I lay down golden in time
C               G
And woke up vanishing
A/D             C/F    G  C
Sweet bird you are
C9                      G
Briefer than a falling star
C9                              G
All these vain promises on beauty jars
F/G
Somewhere with your wings on time
C9
You must be laughing

A/D     C/F    G C
Behind our eyes
C9                 G
Calendars of our lives
C9                  G
Circled with compromise
F/G
Sweet bird of time and change
C9
You must be laughing
G                       C9
Up on your feathers laughing

[Interlude]
[Intro]

C9              Em9
Golden in time
F/G               C
Cities under the sand
C9                Em9
Power ideals and beauty
Bb/Eb           C9       G
Fading in everyone's hand

A/D             C/F    G  C
Give me some time
C9                      G
I feel like I'm losing mine
C9                        G
Out here on this horizon line
F/G
With the earth spinning
C9                       G
And the sky forever rushing
A/D     C/F    G C
No one knows
C9                        G
They can never get that close
C9            G
Guesses at most
C9                                                              Em9
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
C9                                                              Em9
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Bm7(6)  Em7                    Bm7(6)         Em7
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
