Both Sides Now chords
Joni Mitchell 1969 (Clouds album)*

Capo IV **

D G D  2x

D        Em       G     D                  F#m     G      D
Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
            G            Em          G                     A
And feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way.
    D        Em   G         D                  F#m     G    D
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
        G        Em                  G                A  
So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way.

     D         Em          G          D
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
     G      D         G         D
From up and down, and still somehow
     F#m      G       D
It's clouds illusions I recall.
  G                 A  Asus4 A    D   
I really don't know clouds    at all.

D G D  2x

D         Em        G      D                 F#m     G       D
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
           G     Em                    G                   A 
When every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way.
    D        Em    G      D                   F#m      G        D
But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing when you go
           G           Em                   G              A   
And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.
    
     D         Em        G          D
I've looked at love from both sides now,
     G        D         G         D
From give and take, and still somehow
     F#m      G       D
It's love's illusions I recall.
  G                 A Asus4 A   D   
I really don't know love     at all.

D G D  2x

D         Em        G       D               F#m       G         D
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "I love you" right out loud,
           G           Em                  G                   A
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way.
    D       Em          G      D                         F#m         G
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say
     D
I've changed.
                G        Em                    G            A 
But something's lost but something's gained in living every day.

     D         Em        G          D
I've looked at life from both sides now,
     G       D         G         D
From win and lose, and still somehow
     F#m      G       D
It's life's illusions I recall.
  G                 A Asus4 A   D  
I really don't know life     at all.

D G D  2x

     D         Em        G          D
I've looked at life from both sides now,
     G       D         G         D
From win and lose, and still somehow
     F#m      G       D
It's life's illusions I recall.
  G                 A Asus4 A   D  
I really don't know life     at all.
