The Wolf That Lives In Lindsey by Joni Mitchell
The Wolf That Lives In Lindsey
Here's the tuning.
>From low to high it is : C G Eb F B D
In 'Joni' notation this is : C 7 8 2 5 4
You do need to listen to the song to see how it's played. I've really
only included the bare essentials (the chord shapes, and a couple of
strumming patterns). The song starts off with the bottom C hit really hard,
and the following harmonics:
D-----7---------------12---------------------------|
B-----7------5--------12---------------------------|
F-----7------5--------12---------------------------|
Eb-----------5--------12---------------------------|
G--------------------------------------------------|
C--------------------------------------------------|
This next figure gets used at a couple of points in the song:
Fig A
D----------------0---------0-----5-----------------|
B----------------0---------0-----5-----------------|
F----------------0---------0-----5-----------------|
Eb-------------0---------0-------5-----------------|
G--------5-7-8-------7-8---------5-----------------|
C--------------------------------5-----------------|
Here's how the song hangs together:

Of the darkness in men's minds
What can you say
That wasn't marked by history
Or the TV news today
He gets away with murder
The blizzards come and go
The stab and glare and buckshot
Of the heavy, heavy snow
It comes and goes
It comes and goes
His grandpa loved an empire
His sister loved a thief
And lindsey loved the ways of darkness
Beyond belief
Girls in chilly blouses
The blizzards come and go
The stab and glare and buckshot
Of the heavy, heavy snow
It comes and goes
It comes and goes
The cops don't seem to care
For derelicts or ladies of the night
They're weeds for yanking out of sight
If you're smart or rich or lucky
Maybe you'll beat the laws of man
But the inner laws of spirit
And the outer laws of nature
No man can
No, no man can
There lives a wolf in Lindsey
That raids and runs
Through the hills of Hollywood
And the downtown slums
He gets away with murder
The blizzards come and go
The stab and glare and buckshot
Of the heavy, heavy snow
It comes and goes
It comes and goes
