Both Sides Now     by      Joni Mitchell

These are the nicest & easiest chords, in the correct key of C

INTRO: C  F  C  F

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


REFRAIN:
         C                    F          C
   I've looked at clouds from both sides now
        F      C         F         C                   
   From up and down, and still somehow
        Em         F      C
   It's clouds' illusions I recall
                       Dm7   G7   C    F   C  F  C  F
   I really don't know clouds  at all


 C        F     C   F      C                   Em     F       C
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy, dancing way you feel
         F      Dm                                       G
As every fairy tale comes real, I've looked at love that way
    C        F    C F     C                    Em       F        C
But now it's just another show, you leave them laughing when you go
     F      Dm                                              G
And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself a-way


REFRAIN:
         C                  F          C
   I've looked at love from both sides now
        F        C         F         C
   From give and take, and still somehow
        Em        F      C
   It's love's illusions I recall
                       Dm7  G7   C    F   C  F  C  F
   I really don't know love   at all


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


REFRAIN:
         C                  F          C
   I've looked at life from both sides now
        F        C         F        C
   From win and lose, and still somehow
        Em        F      C
   It's life's illusions I recall,
                       Dm7  G7   C    F   C  F  C  F
   I really don't know life   at all
