Circle Game - chords, tab and comments


From 1970 album "Ladies of the Canyon". One of Joni's songs which can be performed without tuning the guitar open, using "Joni's Weird Chords" (her own description).
A            Asus4+9            A      Asus4+9  A
yesterday a child came out to wonder
A               Asus4+9       G   E
caught a dragonfly inside a jar
A                Asus4+9          C#m
fearful when the sky was full of thunder
     D               A     E6     A   Asus4+9  A
and tearful at the falling of a star

A                       Asus4+9    A
and the seasons they go round and round
A                        Asus4+9   A
and the painted ponies go up and down
D                                 A   Asus4+9  A
we're captive on the carousel of time
D                         Bm        A           Amaj7   F#m
we can't return   we can only look behind from where we came
        C#m                 D            E6     A
and go round and round and round in the circle game
