I learned to play this song from watching a video of
a live performance, but I found out later that the
tuning I had used was not the tuning that Joni uses
for the song. However, I decided not to delete this
transcription because sometimes it is convenient and
can sound almost the same to play one of her songs in
another tuning.
I think this song sounds nice in this tuning, and if
you're already in this tuning because you've been
playing Night Ride Home and Cherokee Louise, it's
handy not to have to change tunings. The chord
shapes are very similar to those required for the
correct tuning of CGEGCD (C79352) which you will find
in Howard's transcription.

Additional verses:
About a month or so later he said
Why can't you be happy?
You make me feel helpless
When you get this way
I said I'm up to my neck in aligators
Jaws gnashing at me
Each one trying to pull
A piece away
Darlin' you can't slay
These beasts of prey
Some bad dreams even love can't erase
But in France they say
Every day love puts on a new face
Love has many faces
Many, many faces
He said I wish you were with me here
The leaves are electric
They burn on the river bank
Countless, heatless flames
I said send me some pictures then
And I'll paint pyrotechnic explosions of your autumn
'til we meet again
I miss your touch
And your lips so much
I long for our next embrace
But in France they say
Every day love puts on a new face
Love puts on a new face
Love has many faces
Many, many faces
