HELP ME
By Joni Mitchell
Key: A

-7    6 6-5 -5    -5 -5 6  -5
Help me  I think I’m fall-ing
-5  -5 6-6* -6*
In love a- gain
-5   6 -6*  7    -7 -7  -7   -9 -9  -9
When I get that craz-y feel-ing, I know
-7  -7   -7  7  6 -55
I’m in trou-ble a-gain
5    5 -5 6  6
I’m in trou-ble
5       5    5  -5  6    5  5  -5  6
cause you’re a ram-bler and a gam-bler
5   5   6     6   6   6   5  5-5
And a sweet-talk-ing-lad-ies man
-7   -7  -77  -5   -5 -56
And you love your lov-in
3    3   -5   -5  -5  -5 6 -55*-3 -7 
But not like you love your free- dom


Help me  I think I’m falling
In love too fast
It’s got me hop-ing for the future
And worrying about the past
cause Ive seen some hot hot blazes
Come down to smoke and ash
We love our lovin
But not like we love our freedom

7-7  -7  -7 -7  -7  -7-8
Oh, did-n’t it feel good
-8  -7   -8  -8   -7   6-6*  6
We were sit-ting there talk-ing
-5 -5  -5   -5  -56 -3-4  -5
Or ly-ing there not talk-ing
-5  -5  -5  -5  -5 6
Did-n’t it feel good
-3    -7    -7   7   7 -7
You danced with the lad-y
-7   7  -7   7  7    6    -5
With a hole in her stock-ing
5    5  5  -56   6
Did-n’t it feel good
5   -5   6  5    -3
Did-n-t it feel good

-7   6   6-5 -5    -5  -56  -5
Help me.  I think I’m fall-ing
-5  -5   -6* -6*
In love with you
-5   6  -6*  7  -7 -8 -8  -8   -8 -8  -9
Are you gon-na let me go there by my-self?
8       -7  7 -77-7 7   6   -5  5
That’s such a lone-ly thing to do
5     5  5   -5   6  6   5
Both of us flirt-ing a-round
6      6   6    5    -3     6   5   -5
Flirt-ing and flirt-ing.  Hurt-ing too
-7  -7   -5  -5 -56
We love our lov-in
3    3   -5  -5  -5  -56 -55*-3 -7
but not like we love our free- dom

8*888 -7 -7-8 8-98-77-776…
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
