The numbers for the “Joni tuning” give the fret number at which to compare strings when tuning up - i.e. start with a C

on the low string, fret this at the 7th fret and tune the next string, and so on.

As usual, it's the shapes that count here - I've tried to give some idea of strumming patterns etc, but if you concentrate

on the changes between shapes and listen to the record to suss out the rhythm you can't go far wrong.

The words and shapes might not match exactly, but it should be pretty clear where the changes go.

Most of the rest of the song follows the same changes.

There aren't any other shapes in the rest of the song anyway, so once

you've sussed out these shapes you should have it.
