Both Sides Now Chords & Tabs

by Joni Mitchell

[Verse 1]
 G         Am      C    G   
Rows and floes of angel hair
       G       Gmaj7   C      G 
And ice cream castles in the air
   G         C        Am      
And feather canyons everywhere
     Am7                   D  
I've looked at clouds that way
     G        Am    C        G 
But now they only block the sun
      G      Gmaj7    C    G  
They rain and snow on everyone
G          C      Am            
So many things I would have done
     Am7             D  
But clouds got in my way

[Chorus 1]
      G                    C          G  
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
     C      G           C       G  
From up and down, and still somehow
     Bm      C       G       
It's cloud illusions I recall
   C               D   D7      G CGCGCGCGCG
I really don't know clouds at all

[Verse 2]
 G         Am         C      G   
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
  G        Gmaj7    C       G  
The dizzy, dancing way you feel
   G      C               Am  
As every fairy tale comes real
     Am7                  D 
I've looked at love that way
    G        Am    C       G  
But now it's just another show
  G           Gmaj7    C        G 
You leave 'em laughing when you go
G           C          Am          
And if you care don't let them know
Am7                  D  
Don't give yourself away

[Chorus 2]
      G                  C          G  
I've looked at love from both sides now
     C         G        C       G   
From give and take and still somehow
     Bm       C       G       
It's love's illusions I recall
   C               D   D7      GCGCGCGCGCG
I really don't know love at all

[Verse 3]
  G        Am       C       G    
Tears and fears and feeling proud
   G         Gmaj7     C         G 
To say, "I love you" right out loud
G              C              Am    
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
     Am7                  D 
I've looked at life that way
 G           Am           C       G   
But now old friends are acting strange
     G           Gmaj7         C        G    
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
     G           C        Am                
Well something's lost but something's gained
Am7             D  
In living every day

[Chorus 3]
      G                  C          G  
I've looked at life from both sides now
     C        G       C        G   
From win and lose and still somehow
     Bm       C       G       
It's life's illusions I recall
   C               D   D7     G CGCGCGCGCG
I really don't know life, at all

[Extra Chorus]
      G                  C          G  
I've looked at life from both sides now
     C      G        C        G   
From up and down and still somehow
     Bm       C       G       
It's life's illusions I recall
   C               D   D7     G CGCGCGCGCG
I really don't know life, at all
