LOVE PUTS ON A NEW FACE - Joni Mitchell --------------------------------------- From the album "Taming The Tiger" Transcribed by Howard Wright hakwright (at) gmail (dot) com Tuning: ------- In Joni notation: C 79352 Note names (low to high) : CGEGCD I've written out just the chord shapes in the usual format: the six numbers are the fret numbers, with the lowest string position (C) on the left. As usual, Joni uses the open strings during some chord changes to blend one chord smoothly into the next - I've written out the most obvious open string chords.
