Yellow Taxi (Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear) - cover on 4 string CBG

I saw these guys live recently, they were amazing, they are a mother and son from Kansas City. I can't stop listening to, and playing their songs. Please check them out - the original is far better!

Last night I slept in a big yellow taxi
My imagination told me I was in the back seat
Of course, that was a story I sung
Even though I had clothes, I froze
Even my jacket was cold

Thanks for the comments guys!

UJ - glad you liked them. Their album is a real treat from start to finish. Here's another good one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts2aARA1dwQ

Will - thanks man, the tuning on this one is G major but tuned down half a step, so F#C#F#A#. The song is literally 3 chords, C, F and G.

Jim - I think that might be intentional. I was expecting a Joni cover too :-)

Your playing & singing is great.  Is tuning DGBE?

Nice Richey! Even tho' I was expecting Joni Mitchel's Yellow Taxi I enjoyed this a bunch. Yup, I checked out some of Madisen and Mama's vids - very cool.

Richie, I checked out Madisen Ward and Mama Bear on several youtube videos.  I love them.  My fave was Live On The Water.   

Richie do you know about NPR Tiny Desk Concerts?  A great many short concerts on youtube- some I like and some I do not.   I watched Madisen and Mama in one of those.

I like that!   Happy, sad feisty and snappy.  Will check them out.  Good job, Richey.
