Joni Mitchell - Sex Kills (Live In-Studio 1995) chords
Start Jamming...
My next guest hasn't performed live on American television in 25 years.
She has many, many gold records, numerous Grammys.
She's singing a song from her new CD.
See, it opens up and she did all the paintings and it's got a neat [B] storybook.
You'll see.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome [N] the best, Joni Mitchell.

[C#]
[B]
[C#m] Pulled up behind a Cadillac
[B] [C#m] I was waiting for the light
[B] Took a look at his license plate
It said, just dice
[C#m]
It's just as just dice
Governed by greed and lust
Just [F#] the strong doing what [B] they can
[F#] And the weak suffering what they [F#m] must
And the gas leaks
[C#m] [G#m] And the oil [F#] spills
[C#m] [F#m] And [F#] sex sells everything [C#] Sex kills
[B]
Oh, sex [C#] kills
[B]
[C#m]
Doctors' pills give you brand new wheels
And the bills bury you like an avalanche
[F#]
Liars haven't been this popular since
Robust behest slaughtered half of France
[C#m] And Indian chiefs with their old beliefs know that
Balance is undone Crazy eyes
[F#] You can feel it out in traffic
Everyone hates everyone
[F#m]
[A] And the gas leaks
[F#] And the oil spills
[F#m] And [F#] sex sells everything [C#] Sex kills
Oh, [B]
[F#m] sex [C#] kills
All [B]
[C#m]
these jackals at the office
The rapist in the pool
[B] Oh, and the tragedies in [F#] the nurseries
Little [B] kids packing guns to school
[C#m] The ulcerated ozone
These tumors of the skin
[B]
[F#] Hostile sun beating down on [B] the massive mess we're in
And [C#m] [F#m]
the gas leaks
[F#] And the oil spills
[F#m] And [F#] sex sells everything [C#] Sex kills
[D#]
Oh, sex [C#] kills
Sex [B] [C#] kills
[B]
[C#] Sex kills
[D#]
[C#m] Sex kills

Along the Way
That's about it, though
I mean, I'm honored you're here
Because I'm a big, big fan
And it's really true
I went to school [B] in Boston, you know [N] Oh, man
When you would come through there
And I never met a woman that didn't love Tony Mitchell
That would always be the topic of conversation all the time
The Court and Spark album
And you did the
Now, this is fascinating here
I was looking at the CD
This is you as Van Gogh
Am I correct here, or something? Yeah
It's just a little yolk, you know
But you know what I like?
You know, it's great when you buy it
It gets a little book
But then there's
Is this coming all of them?
No, no, that's a special bonus
There's an ear in it Yeah
It's a tin ear
Did you do all the paintings on the
Yeah, I did That's great Yeah That's great
You know, I was watching
I guess the American Music Awards the other night
And they had
I hate calling me artist formerly known as Prince
Prince, I'm sorry Yeah
You were a huge influence
I remember Prince, you know
When we finally met
I said, you know, I've met you before
I met you one night out in front of the Roxy
That's before he did his flasher routine
You know, it was before he had his first record contract
He said, no, no, no
We met once before that
When he was, I think, 15
He was very young, anyway
I played Minneapolis
And I remember him
Because he [A#] has those distinctive eyes
They're like a puffin, you know
Or like Egyptian wall paintings
And he sat to the left of me in the front row
With his head kind of cocked at me
Like a puffin bird
And I played a lot of my set to him, you know
Very young, impressionable musician
So I guess that night meant something to him
Well, that was terrific
Well, you were just great
It meant something to me having you here
Thank you [N] very, very much
Thank you very much
What an effect
