My Best To You

Marian's notes:  

This is my guitar arrangement of Joni Mitchell's keyboard 
arrangement.  Although the tuning is an alternate tuning, 
it is not a standard Joni tuning.

^ = strum from low to high.
v = strum from high to low.

Throughout the song, I do a strumming pattern in 6/8 
time.  For the chord shape 000000, try to emphasize the 
following notes in your strumming:

C------------------------
G----------------0-------
F-------------0-----0----
E----0--0--0-------------
G------------------------
C------------------------
     ^  v  ^  v  ^  v

With this in mind, a full measure of the chord shape 000000 looks 
like this:

C-----------------------(0)------------------------(0)-------
G--------------(0)-(0)---0--(0)-----------(0)-(0)---0--(0)---
F------(0)-(0)-(0)--0---(0)--0----(0)-(0)-(0)--0---(0)--0----
E-------0---0---0--(0)------(0)----0---0---0--(0)------(0)---
G------(0)-(0)--------------------(0)-(0)--------------------
C------(0)-(0)--------------------(0)-(0)--------------------

Count:  1  and  2  and   3  and    4  and   5  and  6   and
