Harlem In Havana by Joni Mitchell
Harlem In Havana
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
Em
At the far end of the midway
By the double Ferris wheel
Bm7
There's a band that plays so snakey
E
You can't help how you feel
Em
Emmie Mae ran away
With a man as dark as night
Bm7
You can see him if you go there
E
Second trumpet to the right
D
They play "night train"
E
So snaky
D
Black girls dancing
E
Long and lanky
D
Barkers barking
E
Step right up, folks!
[Chorus]
A
The show is about to begin
C7 Bm7
It's Harlem in Havana time
E
Step right in
E
Silver spangles
E G F# E
See 'em dangle in the farm boy's eyes
Em
Hootchie kootchie
A A7
Auntie Ruthie would've cried
Em G F# E
If she knew we were on the inside
[Verse 2]
Em
When Emmie Mae ran away
She came back a bottle blond
Bm7
God, the gossips had a gourmet feast
E
Chomping on how she was born
Em
But miracle of miracles
'Cause we were underage
Bm7
She got us nearly front row seats
E
To the right side of the stage
D
See that tall girl?
E
That's a man
D
That one, too
E
Big yellow feather fan
D
Barkers barking
E
Step right up, folks!
[Chorus]
A
The show is about to begin
C7 Bm7
It's Harlem in Havana time
E
Step right in
E
Silver spangles
E G F# E
See 'em dangle in the farm boy's eyes
Em
Hootchie kootchie
A A7
Auntie Ruthie would've cried
Em G F# E
If she knew we were on the inside
[End]
