A C D F C D G A Free Man in Paris - Joni Mitchell ---------------------------------------- tabbed by Howard Wright spxhaw@uk.ac.cf.thor Tuning : open D From low to high that is - D A D F# A D So you can leave your A and D 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.
