(from Clouds, 1969) (sent by Harlan at harlant@hawaii.edu) (I'm not musically adept enough to know what the names of these chords are but if anybody wants to help me out with naming them I'd be very appreciative.)

But now it's just another show. You leave 'em laughing when you go and if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away. CHORUS 2: I've looked at love from both sides now, from give and take, and still somehow it's love's illusions I recall. I really don't know love at all. VERSE 3: Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "I love you" right out loud, dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way. But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say I've changed. Something's lost but something's gained in living every day. CHORUS 3: I've looked at life from both sides now, from win and lose, and still somehow it's life's illusions I recall. I really don't know life at all. PRINTING NOTE: The graphs will probably come out better if you print in COURIER pitch 10. ___________________ /___________________\ ||-------------------|| || Sue McNamara || || sem8@cornell.edu || ||___________________|| || O etch-a-sketch O || \___________________/ "It's all a dream she has awake." - Joni Mitchell
