Does anyone know the chords and lyrics to Joni Mitchell's "The Song About The Midway"? I think the song is from her "Clouds" album.

Not only the chords, but the tab and tuning too!

www.jmdl.com is a very useful site for JM fans!

Have fun

how do you play this song using simplified guitar chords and standard tuning (EBGDAE)?

Tracy,

I've tried to figure out the song for you. No luck so far. I like the song too. Joni Mitchell rules!

JFYI, Tracy: Standard tuning is generally referred to as EADGBE (unless, of course, you're Jimi Hendrix).

Cheers, Michael

It is not that difficult to play in Joni's tuning, give it a try -- it sounds great. The only toughish part is getting the rhythm of the strumming down, after that it is not hard.
