Free Man in Paris - Joni Mitchell
----------------------------------------
tabbed by Howard Wright
spxhaw@uk.ac.cf.thor
Tuning : open D
From low to high that is - D A D F# A D
So you can leave your A and D strings - all the others go down either
a semitone or a tone.
NOTE: For the verse and chorus I'll just put down the chord shapes once
each time the chord changes. Check out the record for details on strumming
