Both Sides, Now — Joni Mitchell

Chords and lyrics for Both Sides, Now by Joni Mitchell (key of G).

Verse 1

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

Chorus 1

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus 2

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

Verse 3

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

Chorus 3

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

Outro

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