==Composition== In a Rolling Stone interview, Crosby remarked that "Guinnevere" is "a very unusual song, it's in a very strange tuning (EBDGAD) with strange time signatures. It's about three women that I loved. One of whom was Christine Hinton - the girl who got killed who was my girlfriend - and one of whom was Joni Mitchell, and the other one is somebody that I can't tell. It might be my best song." Additionally, according to Robert Christgau, the song is based on a three-note motif from the 1960 Miles Davis album Sketches of Spain.
