Both Sides Now — Judy Collins
Chords and lyrics for Both Sides Now by Judy Collins (key of G).
Verse 1
[G] [Am7] [Em7] [Am7]
[G]Bows and flows of [C]angel [G]hair, and [Gmaj7]ice cream castles [C]in the [G]air,
And feather [G/F#]canyons [C][C/B]everywhere—I've [Am7]looked at clouds that [D]way.
But [G]now they only [C]block the [G]sun, they [Gmaj7]rain and snow on [C][G]everyone.
So many [G/F#]things I [C]would have [C/B]done, but [Am7]clouds got in the [D]way.
I've [G]looked at clouds from [C]both sides [G]now,
From [C]up and [G]down, and [C]still [G]somehow
It's [Gmaj7]clouds [Am7]illusions [G]I [Em]recall; I [C]really don't know [D]clouds at [G]all.
[G]Moons and Junes and [C]ferris [G]wheels, the [Gmaj7]dizzy dancing [C]way you [G]feel
When every [G/F#]fairy [C]tale comes [C/B]real — I've [Am7]looked at love that [D]way.
But [G]now it's just [C]another [G]show, you leave 'em [Gmaj7]laughing [C]as you [G]go,
And if you [G/F#]care, don't [C]let them [C/B]know, [Am7] don't give yourself [D]away.
I've [G]looked at love from [C]both sides [G]now,
From [C]give and [G]take, and [C]still [G]somehow,
It's [Gmaj7]love's [Am7]illusions [G]I [Em]recall; I [C]really don't know [D]love at [G]all.
[G]Tears and fears and [C]feeling [G]proud to [Gmaj7]say "I love you" [C]right out [G]loud;
Dreams and [G/F#]schemes and [C]circus [C/B]crowds[Am7] — I've looked at life that [D]way.
But [G]now old friends are [C]acting [G]strange,
They [G]shake their [Gmaj7]heads and [C]say I've [G]changed,
But [G/F#]something's [Em]lost and [C]something's [C/B]gained [Am7] from living every [D]day.
[G]I've looked at life from [C]both sides [G]now,
From [C]win and [G]lose, and [C]still [G]somehow,
It's [Gmaj7]life's [Am7]illusions [G]I [Em]recall; I [C]really [C/B]don't know [D]life at [G]all.
