Let The Wind Carry Me

Written by Joni Mitchell

	  		(intro)  (Em D C ) 3x (Cmaj7 Em) 

Em              D/E 
Papa’s faith is people, 
D                  C    Em 
Mama, she believes   in cleanin’. 
Gm7/D         F/D            Gm7/D 
       Papa’s faith is in peo- - -ple, 
  F/D             Gm7/D  F/D          Gm7/D       F/D 
Ma- -ma, she’s al- - - - - -ways clea- - - -nin’ 
     F 
Papa brought home the sugar, 
     Eb               Gm7/D 
Mama taught me the dee- - -per meanin 

F/D Gm7/D Gsus2  G  Cmaj7 

Gm7/D               F/D 
She   don’t like my kick-pleat skirt, 
Eb                           Gm7/D           F/DGm7/DF/D 
   She don’t like my eyelids pain-ted green 
Em7                       D/E            Em7                D/E 
She don’t like me stayin’ up  late in my high-heeled shoes, 
                Em7          D/E         Em7 
Livin’ for that rock-n’-roll     dancin’ scene. 
D/E             D 
    Papa says, “Leave the girl alone mother, 
C                         Em 
  She’s lookin’ like a Mo- - vie Queen.” 

Gm7/D            F/D 
Mama  thinks she spoilt me. 
Eb                       Gm7/D         F/DGm7/DF/D 
   Papa knows somehow he set   me free 
Em7                       D/E 
Mama thinks she spoilt me rotten 
    Em7            D/E 
She blames herself 
    Em7      D/E         Em7 
But Papa, he     blesses me. 
D/E        D 
    It’s a rough road to travel, Mama 
C                Em 
Let go now, it’s    always called for me. 

     Em               D/E 
Some-times I get that feeling 
      D                           C         Em 
And I want to settle and raised a  child up with somebody. 
Gm7/D    F/D                 Gm7/D 
       I get that strong long- - -ing 
      F/D     Gm7/D        F/D          Gm7/D           F/D 
And I want to set- tle and raise a child     up with somebody 
       F 
But it passes like the summer 
      Eb 
I’m a wild seed again, let the wind carry me. 

(Gm7/D  F/D –Gm7/D  Gsus2  G  Cmaj7)
