People’s Party- Joni Mitchell Tabbed by Robin Young *Tuning: DADF#AD* A7sus4: X02100 Bm7: X20000 C: 10-10-10-10-10-10 D: 000000 D/A: X00000 Dmaj9: 077777 Em7: X22120 F: 333333 G: 555555 Intro: Bm7Em7 D/A - A7sus4D/AA7sus4 GFD
Dmaj9            D           G
All   the people at this par-ty
They’ve got a lot of style
D                                 C
  They’ve got stamps of many coun-tries
They’ve got passport smiles
         Bm7
Some are friend-ly, some are cutting

         Em7
Some are watch-ing it from the wings

         D/A              A7sus4 D/A
Some are stand-ing in the cen- - ter

       A7sus4
Giving to    get something

Dmaj9                          G
      Photo beauty gets at-ten- tion

                             D
Then her eye paint’s running down

                        C
She’s got a rose in her teeth
And a lampshade crown
Bm7
One minute she’s so happy

           Em7
Then she’s cry-ing on someone’s knee

         D/A               A7sus4
Saying, “Laugh-ing and cry-ing

D/A            A7sus4
You know, it’s the   same release”

  Dmaj9
I told  you when I met you

      G
I was cra-zy

             D
Cry for us all, beauty

                     C
Cry for Eddie in the cor-ner
Thinking he’s nobody
    Bm7
And Jack behind his joker

               Em7
And stone-cold Grace behind her fan

    D/A                  A7sus4 D/A
And me  in my frightened si- - -lence

         A7sus4
Thinking I     don’t understand

  Dmaj9                G
I feel  like I’m sleep- ing

             D
Can you wake me?

                   C
You seem to have a broad-er sensibility

         Bm7
I’m just liv-ing on nerves and feelings

       Em7
With a weak and a lazy mind

    D/A                 A7sus4 D/A
And com-ing to people’s par- - ties

     A7sus4
Fumb-ling   deaf, dumb, and blind

  Dmaj9
I wish  I had more sense of humor

G                 F D
  Keeping the sad- -ness at bay

D                        C
  Throwing the lightness on these things

              Bm7  Em7  D/A  A7sus4  D/A  A7sus4
Laughing it all  away
(3x)
G            F  D
Laugh-ing it all away
