Amelia chords by Joni Mitchell

I have transcribed this song for ukulele, because I think it is one of the
greatest songs of all time and I wanted it to be accessible to average players.


    G    C        G        Bb
I was driving across the burning desert, when I spotted six jet planes
     Am        Bm        G    C
Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain
              Em7          Bm       Am Am/C:
It was the hexagram of the heavens, it was the strings of my guitar
 F          Bb   F G C F G Bb
Amelia it was just a false alarm

   G    C   G       Bb                 Am
The drone of flying engines, is a song so wild and blue, it scrambles time
   Bm         G    C               Em7
And seasons if it gets thru to you, then your life becomes a travelogue
  Bm         Am Am/C:  F          Bb   F G C F G Bb
Of picture post card charms,   Amelia it was just a false alarm

 G     C     G         Bb
People will tell you where they've gone, they'll tell you where to go
          Am     Bm       G    C
But till you get there, yourself you never really know
               Em7    Bm          Am Am/C:
Where some have found their paradise, others just come to harm
   F          Bb   F G C F G Bb
Oh, Amelia it was just a false alarm

G      C   G      Bb
I wish that he was here tonight, it's so hard to obey
      Am   Bm       G  C
His sad request of me to kindly stay away
         Em7           Bm           Am Am/C:
So this is how I hide the hurt, as the road leads cursed and charmed
     F          Bb   F G C F G Bb
I tell Amelia it was just a false alarm

  G   C G         Bb               Am
A ghost of aviation, she was swallowed by the sky, or by the sea
   Bm       G    C        Em7      Bm       Am Am/C:
Like me she had a dream to fly, like Icarus ascending on beautiful foolish arms
 F          Bb   F G C F G Bb
Amelia it was just a false alarm

 G     C   G      Bb                     Am
Maybe I've never really loved, I guess that is the truth, I've spent my whole life
   Bm     G  C             Em7
In clouds at icy altitude, and looking down on everything,
  Bm       Am Am/C: F          Bb   F G C F G Bb
I crashed into his arms,   Amelia it was just a false alarm

  G        C    G     Bb
I pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel, to shower off the dust
    Am          Bm      G   C
And I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust
             Em7      Bm    Am Am/C:
I dreamed of seven forty sevens, over geometric farms
     F    Bb        F G C F G Bb
Dreams Amelia - dreams and false alarms
