Joni Mitchell – Trouble Child (Ukulele)

D/C                   C
Up  in the sterilized room

           Am7
Where they let you be lazy

F7                             C
Know-ing your attitudes are wrong

              Am7
And you gotta change, and it’s not easy

F7                               G
Drag-ons shining with all values known

F7                                G    F  G  C
Daz-zling you, keeping you from your own

F7                             C
Where is the lion in you to de-fy him

                 Am7
When you’re this weak and this spacey?

   D/C
So what are you gonna do about it

C              Am7
You can’t live life and you can’t leave it

   F7                            C
Ad-vice and religion you can’t take it

          Am7
You can’t seem to believe it

    F7                       G
The pea-cock is afraid to pa-rade

       F7                      G  F  G  C
You’re un-der the thumb of a maid

    F7                                  C
You real-ly can’t give love in this con-di-tion

          Am7
Still you know how you need it

             C     G7/B
Then open and close    you

                             Am7
Then they talk like they know   you

               G
They don’t know you

                           C     G7/B
They’re friends and they’re foes too, trouble child,

G/D                  Dsus4          G
  Brea-king like the waves at Malibu

   D/C
So why does it come as such a shock

C                    Am7
  To know you really have no one?

F7                        C
On-ly a river of changing fa-ces

Am7
   Looking for an ocean

     F7                          G
They tric-kle through your leaky plans

        F7                G  F  G
Another dream over the dam

C          F7
And you’re ly-ing in some room

                  C           Am7
Feeling like your right to be hu-man

              G
Is going over too

                  C    G7/B
But some are gonna knock   you

                   Am7
And some’ll try and   clock you

G
 You know it’s really hard

  C                 G7/B
To talk sense to you,   trouble child

G/D                  Dsus4         G
   Breaking like the waves at Malibu
