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

The Wolf that lives in Lyndsey

-----------------------------------------

By Joni Mitchell

From the album 'Mingus'

Tabbed by Martin Ley

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:

B----------------0---------0-----5-----------------|
F----------------0---------0-----5-----------------|
Eb-------------0---------0-------5-----------------|
G--------5-7-8-------7-8---------5-----------------|

Here's how the song hangs together:
