Chords for Joni Mitchell - Carey - Matala Crete

_ _ Anyway, here it [A] is.
The Appalachian Dulcimer.
_ _ _ And you can tune it any way you want to,
just like any instrument, like the guitar or the piano. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G#m] I'm going into a tuning now that I call Matala [A] Tuning, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
because I found it as well as the song I'm going to play in Matala Treat. _ _ _
_ _ This is a song about a friend of mine from Matala,
_ _ a friend of mine from London and Los Angeles and North Carolina.
[D#m] _
_ [B] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [G#] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The wind is in from _ Africa,
_ [G#] last night I couldn't sleep.
[F#] Oh you know it sure is [C#] hard to leave you Carrie,
but [G#] it's really not my home. _
_ _ [C#] My _ fingernails are filthy,
_ I've [G#] got beach tar on my feet.
And I [F#] miss my [C#] clean white linen and my fancy French cologne. _
[G#] _ _ Oh Carrie get [C#] out your cape,
_ _ and put [G#] on some _ _ _ [C#] silk.
You're a mean old daddy but I like you. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Fine.
_ _ Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe,
[G#] and I will buy you a bottle of wine.
[F#] And we'll laugh, [C#] toast and nothing,
and [G#] smash our empty glasses _ down.
[C#] Let's have a round for these streets and these soldiers,
[G#] a round for these friends of mine,
and let's have [F#] another round for [C#] _
whoever keeps [G#] me in this tourist _ town.
Come on Carrie [C#] get _ _ out your cape,
and put on [G#] some silk.
_ _ _ [C#m] Oh you're a mean old daddy [G#] but I [C#] like you.
I like you, I like you, I like you. _ _
_ _ _ Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam,
[G#] or maybe I'll go to Rome.
_ [F#] And rent me [C#] a piano and put [D] some [G#] flowers round my room. _
_ _ [C#] But let's not talk about Feathery Wells now,
[G#] the night is a starry dawn.
[F#] And they're playing that [C#] scratchy rock and roll [G#] beneath the maple moon. _
_ Come on Carrie get out [C#] your cape,
_ _ and put on some [G#] _
_ _ _ silk.
You're [C#] a mean old daddy but I _ like you. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ The wind is in from Africa,
_ [G#] last night I couldn't sleep.
[F#] Oh you know it sure is [C#] hard to leave you but it's really [G#] not my _ home.
_ _ _ [C#] Maybe it's been too long a time since I was [G#] scrambling down in the street.
Now [F#] they got me used to [C#] that mean old linen and that fancy French cologne. _ _
[G#] _ _ Oh Carrie get out [C#] your cape,
_ _ _ I'll put on [G#] my finest silk.
[F#] Oh [C#] remember they'd happily have fun tonight. _ _ _
_ I said oh you're a mean old daddy but you're out of sight. _
