People’s Party- Joni Mitchell *Tuning: DADF#AD* A7sus4: X02100 Bm7: X20000 C: 10-10-10-10-10-10 D: 000000 D/A: X00000 Dmaj9: 077777 Em7: X22120 F: 333333 : 555555 Intro: - / - A7sus4 - / - A7sus4 - - All   the people at this par-ty They’ve got a lot of style   They’ve got stamps of many coun-tries They’ve got passport smiles Some are friend-ly some are cutting Some are watch-ing it from the wings Some are stand-ing in the cen- - ter Giving to    get something       Photo beauty gets at-ten- tion Then her eye paint’s running down She’s got a rose in her teeth And a lampshade crown One minute she’s so happy Then she’s cry-ing on someone’s knee Saying “Laugh-ing and cry-ing You know it’s the   same release” I told  you when I met you I was cra-zy Cry for us all beauty Cry for Eddie in the cor-ner Thinking he’s nobody And Jack behind his joker And stone-cold Grace behind her fan And me  in my frightened si- - -lence Thinking I     don’t understand I feel  like I’m sleep- ing Can you wake me? You seem to have a broad-er sensibility I’m just liv-ing on nerves and feelings With a weak and a lazy mind And com-ing to people’s par- - ties Fumb-ling   deaf dumb and blind I wish  I had more sense of humor   Keeping the sad- -ness at bay   Throwing the lightness on these things Laughing it all  away                   (3x) Laugh-ing it all away
