Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there

Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair

Picked up a pencil and wrote "I love you" in my finest hand
Am G C9 G
Wanted to send it but I don't know where I stand
Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new
All alone, in California and talking to you
And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned
I guess it's too early, cos I don't know where I stand
B A CmaddF AmaddD C9 G C9 G
Do do do do do doooo do do do do do do do do do do do
Crickets call, courting their ladies in stardappled green
Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream
All muted and misty, so drowsy now, I'll take what sleep I can
I know that I miss you but I don't know where I stand

I know that I miss you but I don't know where I stand

This will be your basic finger-picking pattern for the entire song. There are
minor variations, particularly when
it comes to the first half of the verses when you play the Dadd9 and Cadd9 chords,
so if you insist on playing it
excactly like Joni, you'll have to figure out those for yourself.
