The Wolf that lives in Lyndsey
                -----------------------------------------

                             By Joni Mitchell
                          From the album 'Mingus'

                           Tabbed by Martin Ley

Here's the tuning.

From low to high it is :  C G Eb F B D

In 'Joni' notation this is :  C 7 8 2 5 4

You do need to listen to the song to see how it's played. I've really
only included the bare essentials (the chord shapes, and a couple of
strumming patterns). The song starts off with the bottom C hit really hard,
and the following harmonics:


D-----7---------------12---------------------------
B-----7------5--------12---------------------------
F-----7------5--------12---------------------------
Eb-----------5--------12---------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------
C--------------------------------------------------

This next figure gets used at a couple of points in the song:

Fig A
D----------------0---------0-----5-----------------
B----------------0---------0-----5-----------------
F----------------0---------0-----5-----------------
Eb-------------0---------0-------5-----------------
G--------5-7-8-------7-8---------5-----------------
C--------------------------------5-----------------




Here's how the song hangs together:
