Joni Mitchell, CC, (born Roberta Joan Anderson; 7 November 1943 - Fort Macleod, Alberta, Canada) is a musician, singer-songwriter, poet and painter. Mitchell began singing in small nightclubs in her native Western Canada and then busking on the streets of Toronto. Her writing and art talent emerged before her exposure as a gifted musician performing in Western Canada, including Winnipeg, where she met Neil Young. She then associated with the burgeoning folk music scene of the mid-1960s in New York City.

Comenzó su carrera musical en Toronto y en el oeste de Canadá, relacionándose posteriormente con la floreciente escena de folk de Nueva York de mediados de los sesenta.

&quot;Big Yellow Taxi&quot; is a song written and originally performed by Joni Mitchell.  Mitchell got the idea for the song during a visit to Hawaii. She looked out of her hotel window at the spectacular Pacific mountain scenery, and then down to a parking lot.  Joni said this about writing the song to journalist Alan McDougall in the early 1970s: I wrote 'Big Yellow Taxi' on my first trip to Hawaii. I took a taxi to the hotel and when I woke up the next morning, I threw back the curtains and saw these beautiful green mountains in the distance.

Big Yellow Taxi

A           D                 A
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
A              D            E
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
A                D               F#m
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
     D              A      E    A
And tearful at the falling of a star

A                    D                    A
Then the child moved ten times 'round the seasons
A           D                E
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
A                        D            F#m
Words like, when you're older, must appease him
    D           A       E        A
And promises of someday make his dreams

CHORUS:
A                         E          A
And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round
A                         E      A
And the painted ponies go up and down
       D                        A
We're captured on a carousel of time
D                                 F#m                  D
We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came
D       F#m                   D            E      A
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game

A                   D                  A
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
A                   D                     E
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
A                            D                F#m
And they tell him, take your time it won't be long now
          D                 A        E       A
'Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down

PLAY CHORUS
A                     D              A
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
A                                 D              E
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
A                             D                 F#m
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
    D             A       E       A
Before the last revolving year is through

Bows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air,

But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on ev'ryone.
                 F                Dm7                  G 
So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way.

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
               F                Dm7                      G 
As ev'ry fairy tale comes real, I've looked at love that way.

But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing when you go.
                       F             Dm7                 G

                       F              Dm7                      G 
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way.
    C                   F      C 
But now old friends are acting strange,
     Cmaj7                   F        C 
They shake their heads, they say I've changed.

It Ain't Me

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.
