Joni Mitchell 1969 (Clouds album)

Capo IV **
[Intro]
D G D G 2x
[Verse]
D Em G D F#m G D
Rows 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.
[Refrain]
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 G 2x
[Verse]
D Em G D F#m G D
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
G Em G A
As 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.
[Refrain]
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 G 2x
[Verse]
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.
[Refrain]
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 G 2x
D Em G D
I've looked at life from both sides now,
G D G D
From up and down, 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.
[Outro]
D G D G . . . .
** Alternate:
Capo II
D = E
Em = F#m
G = A
F#m = G#m
A = B
Asus4 = Bsus4
** Joni Mitchell did a live version of this song using Capo on V,
and I believe there are also other versions performed in a different key.
