A Case of You

Joni Mitchell
Tab
4.7(35)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse

C G2

Just before our love got lost you said

Am7

I am as constant as a northern star and I said

Dm C G2

Constantly in the darkness, where's that at?

Am7 G

If you want me I'll be in the bar

C G2

On the back of a cartoon coaster

Am7

In the blue TV screen light

Dm C

I drew a map of Canada

C G2 Am7

Oh Ca - na - da

Dm C G2

With your face sketched on it twice

Chorus

F Em

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine

Dm C

You taste so bitter and so sweet

C C G2 Am7

Oh, I could drink a case of you darling and I would

Dm C G2 C

still be on my feet, oh I would still be on my feet

C F Am G Am, FF FF, EmEm EmEm, Dm CC, G2G2 C Am7 Am7 GG G Am7 G2G2 G2G2 gg

Verse

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

Chorus

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine

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 [intro progression]

Verse

I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours

She knew your lies

She knew your devils and your deeds, and she said

Go to him, stay with him if you can

But be prepared to bleed

Chorus

Oh but you are in my blood, you're my holy wine

You're so bitter, baby

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 [intro progression]
