Carey Chords by Joni Mitchell

[B] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
The wind is in from Africa
[G#] Last night I couldn't sleep
[F#] Oh you know it sure is [C#] hard to leave you, Carrie
[G#] But it's really not my home
[C#]
My fingernails are filthy
[G#] I've got beach tar on my feet
And I miss [C#] my clean white linen
[G#] And my fancy French cologne
Oh Carrie, get [C#] out your cape
Carrie, get out your cape
And I'll put on [G#] some seals
I'll put on [D#] some seals
Oh you're a neat [C#] old daddy, but I like you _ _ _ _
Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe
[G#] And I will buy you a bottle of wine
And [F#] we'll laugh, [C#] toast to nothing
And [G#] smash our empty glasses down
[C#] Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
[G#] A round for these friends of mine
[C#] Let's have another round for the devil
Who [G#] keeps me in this tourist town
Come on Carrie, [C#] get out your cape
Carrie, get out your cape
And I'll [G#] put on some seals
I'll [F#] put on some seals
Oh [C#] you're a neat old [G#] daddy, but I [C#] like you
I like you, I like you, I like you
_ Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam
[G#] Or maybe I'll go to Rome
[F#] And rent [C#] me a dono and [G#] put some flowers round my room
[C#] But let's not talk about Fetty Wells [G#] now
The night is a starry dawn
[F#] And they're playing [C#] that scratchy rock and roll
[G#] Beneath the Macalum moon
Come on Carrie, get out [C#] your cape
Carrie, get out your cape
And I'll [G#] put on some seals
[C#] I'll put on some seals
You're a neat old daddy, but I like you _ _ _ _
_ The wind is from Africa
[G#] Last night I couldn't [Fm] sleep
[C#] Oh you know it sure is hard to leave you
But it's really not my [G#] home
Maybe it's been too long
A time [G#] since I was scrambling down in the street
Now [C#] they've got me used to that clean white linen
And that [G#] fancy French cologne
Oh Carrie, get [C#] out your cape
Carrie, get out your cape
I'll put on [G#] my finest seal
I'll put on my finest seal
Morning [C#] and evening [G#] cafe have fun [C#] tonight
_ I said, oh you're a [G#] neat old daddy, but you're [C#] out of sight _ _ _
