SEX KILLS - Joni Mitchell

From the album Turbulent Indigo tabbed by Howard Wright [email protected]

This is quite an easy one in some senses - only a few shapes to Learn - but I find it bloody hard to play those shapes !!!

If you've got slim fingers you'll be fine, if you havn't and You have trouble fretting the 4 middle strings on the same fret While leaving top and bottom strings open, then you'll have to Work on it a bit.....

This is tabbed from memory - I havn't actually heard the new Album yet !!! - but Joni did two songs from it on TV a while Ago and I videoed them and this was one of them. I'm pretty hazy on the words - if someone wants to send them To me, I'll put together a complete TAB with all the words too.

As it is, I've put in words where I can remember them and left Gaps elsewhere.

It's a while since I played the video, so I don't think there are Any extra middle eights that I left out - but if I have missed Out a section then let me know !

The tuning for this is ( low to high ) : D A C F G C

As usual, I'll just TAB out the shapes. The strumming style for Most of it has the bass note played first, then the other Strings are strummed a bit, though certain notes are picked out >from these - especially the notes from the top two strings.

You'll have to check with the record to get it spot on, but It might look something like this for the intro :

For the Intro these two shapes are repeated a couple of times

>From now on I'll just give the shapes ....

Verse

..............................................

Take a look at his license plate - it said justice

Is justice just ice ? Driven by greed and lust ...

.................................................

...................... and the oil spills

and sex sells everything and sex kills

Then back to the start of another verse.

Howard
