C G/B Am7
Just before our love got lost you said "I am as constant as a northern star"
Dm7 C
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
G/B Am7 G
Where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar"
C G/B Am7 Dm7
On the back of a cartoon coaster, in the blue TV screen light
C C C/B Am7
I drew a map of Canada, oh Ca - na - da
Dm7 C G/B
With your face sketched on it twice
[Chorus]
F Em
Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine
Dm7 C
You taste so bitter and so sweet
C C C/B Am7
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
Dm7 C G/B C F
And I would still be on my feet, oh I would still be on my feet

And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh, I would still be on my feet
Oh, I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid

version 6
Capo:no capo
NOTE :
-------
The original has one guitar part and a part for another instrument,
(dulcimer ? ) which uses an open tuning of some kind, and plays
the introduction bit. I've worked out a way of playing this on
guitar using an alternative tuning, and I've also written out
chord shapes which work well for standard tuning. (All chord shapes
given at the end). Please note - I've written the chord names for
normal tuning above the TAB for alternative-tuning. The chord names
do not neccessarily correspond to what the TAB plays.
Words are written under the corresponding TAB - I've tried to put the
chord changes in the right place with respect to the words, but it might
not be 100% accurate.
The dulcimer part using alternative tuning is basically the same for each
verse - but I only tabbed it once for the first verse.
For the dobro/dulcimer part use EADAAD tuning, i.e tune B down to A
and G up to A.
\ - slide
h - hammer on
p - pull off

Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh, I would still be on my feet
Oh, I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me
You said, "Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"
Oh, but you are in my blood
You're my holy wine
You're so bitter
Bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

version 7
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
Tuning: D# G# C# G# G# D#
To help you recognize this tuning, it's really just E A D A A E (where you
tune the G-string up to an A and the B-string down to that same A), and then
drop all the strings a half step. I think it'd be called a "G#sus4-tuning".
There's also a 2nd Guitar playing, but I'm still about to tab that out.
This is Joni Mitchell's part:

Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh, I would still be on my feet
Oh, I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me
You said, "Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"
Oh, but you are in my blood
You're my holy wine
You're so bitter
Bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
