I am fairly sure I've got the chord shapes right or this one..... however, the names are a different story altogether. .....if someone could correct the mistakes I may have made in the names I'd appreciate it Also, I'm leaving the right hand fingering for the player to work out for him/herself....its fairly easy...basically arpeggio style (with some strumming) and picked up easily by listening to the song .....thanks to Howard Wright for the tuning ----------------------------------- MARCIE by Joni Mitchell from Song to a Seagull -----------------------------------
