Note: I know these aren't the exact exotic chords of Joni,
but at least you can play it in a standard tuning, enjoy!

Intro:
F-G--G C-F Bb
I was dGriving across the burning desert
When I Bbspotted six jet planes
Leaving six wChite vaporBm trails across tGhe bleakG4 terrGain
It was theC hexagram of the Gheavens
it was the Bmstrings of my guAmitar G
FAmelia it was just a Bbfalse alFarm
F-G--G C-F Bb
The Gdrone of flying engines
Is a Bbsong so wild and blue
It scrambles Ctime and sBmeasons if it gets Gthru tG4o youG
Then your Clife becomes a tGravelogue
Of Bmpicture post card cAmharms G
FAmelia it was just a Bbfalse alFarm
F-G--G C-F Bb
GPeople will tell you where they've gone
BbThey'll tell you where to go
But till you get Cthere Bmyourself you never Greally G4knoGw
Where Csome have found their Gparadise
BmOther's just come to Amharm G
Oh, FAmelia it was juBbst a false aFlarm
F-G--G C-F Bb
GI wish that he was here tonight
BbIt's so hard to obey
His saCd request oBmf me to kindlyG stayG4 awaGy
So tChis is how I Ghide the hurt
As the Bmroad leads cursed and cAmharmed G
I tell FAmelia it was juBbst a false aFlarm
F-G--G C-F Bb
A ghost of aviation
She was swallowed by the sky
Or by the sea like me she had a dream to fly
Like Icarus ascending
On beautiful foolish arms
Amelia it was just a false alarm
Maybe I've never really loved
I guess that is the truth
I've spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitude
And looking down on everything
I crashed into his arms
Amelia it was just a false alarm
I pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel
To shower off the dust
And I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust
I dreamed of 747s
Over geometric farms
Dreams Amelia - dreams and false alarms
