Free Man in Paris - Joni Mitchell
----------------------------------------
tabbed by Howard Wright

Tuning : open D MajorD
From low to high that is - D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD 
F#F# A augmentedA D MajorD
So you can leave your A augmentedA and D MajorD strings - all the others go down either
a semitone or a tone.
NOTE: For the verse and chorus I'll just put down the chord shapes once
each time the chord changes. Check out the record for details on strumming
