Текст песни с аккордами
Вступление
Song: This flight tonight
Artist: Joni Mitchell
Composer: Joni Mitchell
Album: Blue
Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar.com) 3rd June 2019
Listen to the track at this link:
I've tabbed TWO ALTERNATIVES:
- Firstly in OPEN G TUNING (with capo added if playing in Joni's original key)
- Secondly in OPEN Ab TUNING.
The actual chord shapes are exactly the same in both versions (whichever
way you choose to achieve the original pitch) and are actually very simple
chord shapes once you're familiar with them, so don't be put off by their
names, just a little study will see it's an easy song to master, the tuning
is really the only tricky bit. I just sing and play it in open G, without
a capo, and there are only three strings to de-tune then.
Please select a star rating for these tabs, many thanks
===============================================================================
VERSION ONE:
OPEN G TUNING: G-G-D-G-B-D
CAPO: 1st fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of Ab)
Detune the three strings first, then add the capo
1st string DOWN to D
2nd, 3rd and 4th strings as standard tuning
5th string DOWN to G
6th string DOWN to G (tuned an octave below the detuned 5th string)
THEN, add the CAPO at 1st fret.
You may have to re-check the tuning, particularly the slack 6th string.
FINE TUNING:
Only needed if you want to play along more accurately with the album.
Joni's guitar is not quite in correct pitch and is a little under.
To be much closer to matching the original recording, fine-tune ALL six
strings down a little further by approx. minus 20 using a chromatic tuner.
For the G to C chords, slide up from open strings into the 5th fret barre.
In the link breaks, slide up from the Dsus7 into the G *.
For the Cadd9, hammer-on and off the chord from the open G chord.

That night down south between the trail - ers,
G C G C
Not the early one ...that you can wish upon,

Not the northern one that guides in the sail - ors

==========================================================================
VERSION TWO:
Ab OPEN TUNING: Ab-Ab-Eb-Ab-C-Eb (or G#-G#-D#-G#-C-D#)
Using a chromatic tuner will make this a bit easier.
1st string DOWN a semi-tone to D#
2nd string UP a semi-tone to C
3rd string UP a semi-tone to G#
4th string UP a semi-tone to D#
5th string DOWN a semi-tone to G#
6th string DOWN to G# an OCTAVE below the detuned 5th string
The low 6th string tuning gives the song a real growly fret buzz drone.
FINE TUNING:
Only needed if you want to play along more accurately with the album.
Joni's guitar is not quite in correct pitch and is a little under.
To be much closer to matching the original recording, fine-tune ALL six
strings down a little further by approx. minus 20 using a chromatic tuner.
For the Ab to Db chords, slide up from open strings to the 5th fret barre.
In the link, slide up from the Ebsus7 into the Ab *.
For the Dbadd9, hammer-on and off the chord from the open stringed Ab chord.
