Joni Mitchell – Cold Blue Steel And Sweet Fire (Guitar)

C
Cold Blue Steel out of money

C
One eye for the beat police

G7
Sweet Fire calling, "You can't deny me

G7
Now you know what you need"

C
Underneath the jungle gym

C
Hollow-grey-fire-escape-thief

G7                D
Looking for Sweet Fire

          C
Shadow of Lady Release

C
"Come with me, I know the way," she says

      D     Bb    F                    G C
"It's down, down, down the dark ladder

C
Do you want to contact somebody first, leave someone a letter?

          G
You can come now or you can come later"

C
A wristwatch, a ring, a downstairs screamer

C
Edgy black cracks of the sky

G
"Pin-cushion-prick, fix this poor bad dreamer!"

G
"Money" cold shadows reply

C
Pawnshops crisscrossed and padlocked

C
Corridors, spit-on prayers and pleas

G                        D
Sparks fly up from Sweet Fire

C
Black soot of Lady Release

C
"Come with me, I know the way" she says

      G     Bb    F
"It's down, down, down the dark ladder

C
Do you want to contact somebody first, does it really matter?

             G
You can come now or you can come later"

C
Red water in the bathroom sink

C
Fever and the scum brown bowl

G
Blue Steel still begging but it's indistinct

G
Someone's HI-Fi drumming Jelly Roll

C
Concrete concentration camp

C
Bashing in veins for peace

G                         D
Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire

C
Fall into Lady Release

C
"Come with me, I know the way" she says

      G     Bb    F
"It's down, down, down the dark ladder

C
Do you want to contact somebody first, I mean what does it really matter?

                     G
You're going to come now or you're going to come later"
