A Strange Boy Chords by Joni Mitchell

[D] _ _ _ [Dm] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ A strange [Bm] boy is weaving _
[G] _ a [D] course of [G] grace and heaven _
[F] [G] On a yellow skateboard to [D] Medecine, what a fit
Just _ [Dm] _ _
[D] _ _ when I think he's [Bm] foolish and [A] childish _ [E] and I want him to [G] be manly _
I catch my fool and my child needing [D] love and understanding
_ [G] What _
_ [Gm] _ a strange, strange boy, _ he still lives with his family _
[F] _ Even the war and the Navy _
[Dm] _ couldn't bring him [D] to [C] _
[D] charity
He keeps referring [Bm] back to school [D] days and clinging to [F] his [G] child _
_ Fidgeting and bullying, _ his crazy [F] wisdom [D] holding onto something wild
[G] _ _ [Dm] _
[D] He asked me to [Bm] be patient, well I [Em] failed, grow up
[G] _ _ I cried and as the smoke was clearing he said, give me one good [D] reason why
What _ _ _ _
[G] _ a strange, strange boy, [F] he [Gm] sees the cars [G] as sets of waves
[F] _ The sequences of [C] [F] mass and [Dm] space, he sees the [D] damage in [C] my [D] face
We got high [Bm] on travel _ _
[A] and we got drunk [G] on alcohol
And on love, the strongest poison in [D] medicine at all
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[D] See how that feeling [Bm] comes and goes [A] like the [Em] pull of [F] moon on tides
[G] Now I am surprising, _ now I'll patch cracks [Dm] of sand at his side
_ _ _ _ [G] _
What a [F] strange, [G] strange boy, _
[Gm] I gave him clothes [G] and jewelry _
[Eb] I gave him my [F] warm body, [Dm] _
I gave him [D] power over [C] me
[D]
A thousand glass [Bm] eyes were staring [A]
in the cellar [G] full of antique dolls
I found an old piano, [C] _ [Gm] sweet [D] chords rose up in my smiling heart
_ [G] _ [Dm] _ _
[D] While the borders were [Bm] snoring [D] under _
[A] crisp white sheets [G] of curfew
_ We were newly lovers then, we were fire in [D] the stiff blue hairdress room
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ Thank _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _
you _ _ for _ _
