Chords

Song: Don´t Interrupt The Sorrow Music/Lyrics: Joni Mitchell Artist: Morrissey Chord proposal: Mats Fagergren, 2020. Remark: Normally this famous song from Joni Mitchell require that you tune your guitar like this : DGDGBD. That specific tuning does not work in the Morrissey version, so I stick to std tuning. There are however several similarities with Joni´s original version and that is the "add11-chords" that gives this song its special harmoney-charcter. It is rather tricky to here which chord the strumming guitar play in the Morrissey version, I have tried to summarize the guitars and the base to "one" chord(guitar)..which lead to some "errors" , so I am opend to constructive feedback regarding the chord proposals below The chords I propose shall be played according to my instructions .

In flames our prophet witches,   Be polite

A room full of glasses

He says, "Your notches, liberation doll

Uprising in you tonight

                  G5/D                      D
A vengeful little goddess, with an ancient crown to fight

G5/D                    D
Truth goes up in vapors, the steeples lean

Wind of change patriarchs, snug in your bible belt dreams

God goes up the chimney

Like childhood Santa Claus

The good slaves love the good book, a rebel loves a cause

I'm leaving on the 1:15, You're darn right

Since I was seventeen, I've had no one over me

I say, "Anima rising

   Fmaj7sus2/C     D

Petrified wood process, tall timber down to rock!"

Of death and birth and death and birth?

D                  G5/D            D
"Bring that bottle kindly, and I'll pad your purse

           G5/D                                         D
I've got a head full of quandary, and a mighty, mighty, thirst"

[Verse 6]

G5/D              D
Seventeen glasses, Rhine wine
