The Dawntreader
===================

Artist: 	  Joni Mitchell
>From album        Song to a seagull (her debut album!)
Transcribed by:   Tino Meinen  tino@astro.uva.nl
Tuning (low to high) D G D D A D  (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  B  C  D  E  F
