BOTH SIDES NOW Joni Mitchell (1969)
Intro : G C G 2x
G Am C G Bm C G
Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
C Am C D
And feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way.
G Am C G Bm C G
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
C Am C D
So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way.
CORO:
G Am 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 clouds illusions I recall.
C D Dsus4 D G
I really don't know clouds at all.
G C G 2x
G Am C G Bm C G
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
C Am C D
When every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way.
G Am C G Bm C G
But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing when you go
C Am C D
And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.
CORO:
G Am C G
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
C G C G
From up and down, and still somehow …
G C G 2x
G Am C G Bm C G
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "I love you" right out loud,
C Am C D
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way.
G Am C G Bm C
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say
G
I've changed.
C Am C D
But something's lost but something's gained in living every day.
CORO:
G Am C G
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
C G C G
From up and down, and still somehow … X2
