Marcie

Joni Mitchell
Version1
90

Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Marcie  in the quilt  of flowers
 
 Steps  inside a candy store
 Reds  are sweet and greens  are sour
 
 
 
 Still  no letter at her door
 So  she'll wash her flower  curtains
 Hang  them in the wind  to dry
 Dust  her tables with  his shirt and
 
 
 
 wave  another day goodbye
 
 
 
 
 ........repeat Pattern 1 for the following :
 Marcie's faucet needs a plumber
 Marcie's sorrow needs a man
 Red is autumn, green is summer
 Greens are turning and the sand
 All along the ocean beaches
 stares up empty at the sky
 Marcie buys a bag of peaches
 stops a postman passing by
 Pattern 2 :
 And  summer goes, falls to the sidewalk like string
 and brown paper
 Winter  blows up from the river
 There's no  one to to take her......
 
 
 
 
 
 to  the sea
 .........use Pattern 1 for the following :
 Marcie dresses warm, its snowing
 takes a yellow cab uptown
 red is stop and green's for going
 Sees a show and rides back down
 Down along the Hudson River
 Past the shipyards in the cold
 still no letter's been delivered
 still the winter's days unfold
 .......and Pattern 2 for this :
 Like magazines fading in dusty grey attics
 and servers make a dream
 Dream back to summer
 and all he tells her
 Wait for me
 .......back to Pattern 1 for :
 Marcie leaves and doesn't tell us
 Where, why she moved away
 Red is angry, green is jealous
 that was all she had to say
 Someone thought they saw her Sunday
 window shopping in the rain
 Some heard she bought a one-way
 ticket and went west again
