{title:Michael from Mountains}
{st:Joni Mitchell}
{define: Gm6 1 3 3 3 2 -1 3}
[D]Michael wakes you up with sweets,
He takes you up [Gm6]streets, and the rain comes [D]down.
Sidewalk markets locked up tight
And umbrellas [Gm6]bright on a gray backgr[D]ound.
There s [C]oil in the puddles in taffeta paterns
That [B]run down the drain
In [Bb]colored arrangements that [A]Michael will change
With a st[D]ick that he [Em7]found.[D]
{:Chorus:}
[Am]Michael from mountains,
[G]Go where you will go to,
[F#m]Know that I will know you.
[G]Some[Bm]day [Gm]I may k[F]now you [D]very well.
Michael brings you to a park,
He sings and it s dark when the clouds come by.
Yellow slickers up on swings,
Like puppets on strings hanging in the sky.
They ll splash home to suppers in wall-papered kitchens;
Their mothers will scold.
But Michael will hold you to keep away cold
Till the sidewalks are dry.
{:Chorus.}
Michael leads you up the stairs,
He needs you to care, and you know you do.
Cats come crying to the key,
And dry you will be in a towel or two.
There s rain in the window and sun in the painting
That smiles on the wall,
You want to know all, but his mountains have called,
So you never do.
{:Chorus.}
