Chords for Joni Mitchell - Cactus Tree

[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] There's a man who's been out sailing [B] in a decade full of dreams
[F#] And he takes her to [B] a schooner [F#] and he treats her like a queen
Bearing beads from [B] California [F#] with her amber [B] stones and green
_ _ _ _ He has called her [F#] from the harbor _ [B] He has kissed her with [F#] his freedom _
He has heard her after star birth [B] In the breaking and [G#] the breathing [F#] of the water _ _ _ weeds _ _
While she [B] was busy [F#] being free
_ _ _ _ There's a man who's climbed a mountain and [B] he's calling out her name
And [F#] he hopes her [B] heart can hear [F#] 3000 miles he calls her game
He can think of [B] her beside [F#] him He can miss her just the [B]
same
_ _ _ _ He _ has missed her [F#] in the forest _ While he showed her all the flowers _
And the [B] branches [F#] sang the chorus As [B] he climbed the scaly [F#] towers of a forest _ [C#] tree _ _ _ _
[F#] While she [B] was somewhere [F#] being _ free
_ _ _ There's a man who sent a letter [B] and he's waiting for reply
[F#] He has asked her of [B] her travels [F#] since the day they said goodbye
He said, I wish you [B] were beside me [F#] We can make it if [B] we try _ _ _ _ _ _
He has seen her at [F#] the office _ With her name on all his _ papers
Through the [B] sharing of the [F#] _ profits He will [G#m] find it hard to shake her [F#] from his _ memory
_ [C#] _ _ _ _
[F#] And she's so busy being free
_ _ There's _ _ _ a lady in the city and [D#m] she thinks she [F#] loves them all
There's the one [B] who's thinking of her [F#] There's the one who sometimes calls her
[B] And writes her letters [F#] with his facts and [B] figures raw
_ She _ _ _ _ has brought them [F#] to her senses They [B] have laughed [F#] inside her laughter
Now [B] she rallies [F#] her defenses _ For she fears that one will ask her for _ eternity _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And she's so busy being free
_ _ _ There's _ a man who sent her letters He is bleeding from the war
There's a jouster and a jester And a man who owns a store
There's a drummer [B] and a dreamer [F#] And you know there [B] may be more
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
She will love them [F#] when she sees them They will [B] lose her [F#] if they follow _
[B] And she only [F#] means to please them And her [B] heart is full and hollow
[F#] Like a cactus tree
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#]
While she's [B] so busy [F#] being _ free _ Free _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
Being _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] free
