The Dawntreader


>From album        Song to a seagull (her debut album!)

Tuning (low to high) D MajorD G+G D MajorD D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD  (D57075 in Joni Mitchell notation)

As string number 3 and 4 are tuned to the same D, The picking of the
chords is ambiguous, but as the third string has a totally different
tonal color beeing tuned that low, I think my picking is the same as Joni's.
I've indicated the fingering of the right hand for the first two bars:
Thumb(p)
fingers(i,m,a)

The three base notes in the third bar should be strummed with the thumb.
As Joni goes high up on her board (up to fret number 15), I labeled the
higher frets with letters because I did not want to disturb the time
vs distance in the TAB score:

frets   123456789  10 11 12 13 14 15
in TAB: 123456789  A augmentedA  BB  C majorC  D MajorD  E MajorE  FF
