Hi,

Inspired by Howard ([email protected]) I dusted off my old acoustic,

Did some serious retuning and came out with the TAB for...

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:

C-----7---------------12---------------------------

G-----7------5--------12---------------------------

Eb----7------5--------12---------------------------

F------------5--------12---------------------------

B--------------------------------------------------

D--------------------------------------------------

This next figure gets used at a couple of points in the song:

Fig A

C----------------0---------0-----5-----------------

G----------------0---------0-----5-----------------

Eb---------------0---------0-----5-----------------

F--------------0---------0-------5-----------------

B--------5-7-8-------7-8---------5-----------------

D--------------------------------5-----------------

Here's how the song hangs together:
