A lovely song by Joni. I hope the arrangement below gives you some idea how to time the chord changes
to fit the lyrics - this is a simple arrangement that allows the voice to carry the melody
GJust before our lDove got lost you said
Em"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "A7Constantly in the Gdarkness
Where's Dthat at?
If you wDant me I'll be in the Dbar"
GOn the back of a Dcartoon coaster
EmIn the blue of a TV screen light
A7I drew a map of GCanada
Oh GCa - Dna - Emda
With yA7our face sketched on it tDwice
Oh, you’re Cin my blood likeBm holy wine
You tCaste so bitter Gand so sweet
Oh GI could dGrink a cGase oDf yEmou, darling
And sA7till I'd be on my fDeet
I wDould still be on my Gfeet
GOh I am a lonDely paintEmer
EmI live in a box of paints
A7I'm frightened by the Gdevil
And I'm drDawn to those ones that ain't afraid
GI remember the tiDme you told me,
EmYou said "Love is touching souls", well surely you touched A7mine
??A7?Cause part of you pourGs ouDt oEmf me
In A7these lines from time to Dtime
Oh, you’reC in my blood likBme holy wine
You tCaste so bitter Gand so sweet
Oh GI could dGrink a cGase oDf yEmou, darling
And sA7till I'd be on my fDeet
I wDould still be on my Gfeet
GI met a woman, she had a Dmouth like yours, she knew your Emlife
ShEme knew your devils and your dreams
She said "A7Go to him, stay Gwith him if you can
But Dbe prepared to bleed"
Oh, you’reC in my blood, you're mBmy holy wine
You tCaste so bitter, bGitter and so sweet
Oh GI could dGrink a cGase oDf yEmou, darling
And sA7till I'd be on my fDeet
I wDould still be on my Gfeet
