Words & Music by Joni Mitchell, Recorded by Judy Collins, 1968 (#8)
Intro: G Am7 Em7 Am7
[G]Bows and flows of a[C]ngel ha[G]ir, and [Gmaj7]ice cream castles i[C]n the ai[G]r,
G/f# C C/B Am7 D
And feather canyons everywhereâ??I've looked at clouds that way.
But n[G]ow they only b[C]lock the [G]sun, they [Gmaj7]rain and snow on [C]every[G]one.
G/f# C C/B Am7 D
So many things I would have done, but clouds got in the way.
I've l[G]ooked at clouds from b[C]oth sides n[G]ow,
[C] [G] [C] [G]
It's c[Gmaj7]louds il[Am7]lusions [G]I re[Em]call; I real[C]ly don't know cl[D]ouds at a[G]ll.
[G]Moons and Junes and f[C]erris wh[G]eels, the d[Gmaj7]izzy dancing w[C]ay you fe[G]el
G/f# C C/B Am7 D
When every fairy tale comes real â?? I've looked at love that way.
But n[G]ow it's just an[C]other sh[G]ow, you leave 'em l[Gmaj7]aughing [C]as you g[G]o,
G/f# C C/B Am7 D
And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.
I've lo[G]oked at love from b[C]oth sides n[G]ow,
[C] [G] [C] [G]
It's [Gmaj7]love's il[Am7]lusions [G]I rec[Em]all; I r[C]eally don't know l[D]ove at a[G]ll.
[G]Tears and fears and f[C]eeling p[G]roud to [Gmaj7]say "I love you" r[C]ight out l[G]oud;
G/f# C C/B Am7 D
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds â?? I've looked at life that way.
But n[G]ow old friends are a[C]cting str[G]ange,
They [G]shake their [Gmaj7]heads and s[C]ay I've cha[G]nged,
G/f# Em C C/B Am7 D
But something's lost and something's gained from living every day.
I[G]'ve looked at life from b[C]oth sides n[G]ow,
[C] [G] [C] [G]
It's [Gmaj7]life's i[Am7]llusions [G]I rec[Em]all; I [C]really [C/B]don't know li[D]fe at a[G]ll.
