A Bird That Whistles

Note:  In the recording, Joni seems to play mostly the top four strings 
and the bass notes are played by the bass player.  You can fill in the
base notes by making complete bar chords of 000000, 555555, 777777.  This
transcription shows only the notes that Joni plays in the original.  

All fret positions are in relation to the capo.
