The following is a list of over 90 Joni Mitchell guitar songs and their
tunings (piano and dulcimer songs are not included). This list does
not claim to be 100% accurate. In a few cases, I am close to the right
tuning, but one string may be out. If you feel that I've missed a
string or two, please let me know, and I will fix it. Because of my
busy workload, I am no longer able to give chords or left-hand
shapes for any songs. You're on your own. So experiment! Have fun!
