As recorded by Joni Mitchell (From the 1969 Album CLOUDS) Joni Mitchell recorded this song in an Open F9 tuning (FFCGAC), but you may play it as well in standard tuning. [Intro] Bbm11 Gm11 F9 Bbm11 Gm11 F9 D9 [Verse 1]
D9                                  C9
Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there

D9                                   F9
Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair

Bb9                                    Am7
Picked up a pencil and wrote "I love you" in my finest hand

Bbm11              Gm11             F9          D9
Wanted to send it, but I don't know where I stand
[Verse 2]
D9                                C9
Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new

D9                         F9
 All alone in California and talking to you

Bb9                                      Am7
And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned

Bbm11                            Gm11       F9           A9
I guess it's too early, 'cause I don't know where I stand
[Interlude]
                       G9    Bbm11
Doo too too too too too too    too too

Gm11            Bb/F            F9
too too too too too too too too too
[Verse 3]
D9                                      C9
Crickets call, courting their ladies in star-dappled green

D9                                   F9
Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream

    Bb9                        Am7
All muted and misty, so drowsy now I'll take what sleep I can

  Bbm11                        Gm11      F9
I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand

  Bbm11                        Gm11      F9          A9
I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand
[Outro]
        G9         Bbm11  Gm11 F9
Too too too too too             too too

                D9  Ab9  G9
too too too too toooo
