D A D F# A D Capo 4
C F C F
Bows and flows of angel hair
F Em Am C
And ice cream castles in the air
F Dm
And feather canyons everywhere
F G
I've looked at clouds that way
C F C F
But now they only block the sun
F Em Am C
They rain and snow on everyone
F Dm
So many things I could have done
F G
But clouds got in my way
CHORUS:
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
C F C Am Gsus G C
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy, dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave them laughing as you go
And if you care don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
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
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 and something's gained
In living every day
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

** 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.
------------------
version 5
Tuning:D A D F# A D
Capo:4th fret
Two ways to tune - open D (D A D F# A D), capo on four, or open E (E B E G# B E) capo on two.
Both work well - for the sake of easiness, I'll say it's open D.

Two ways to tune - open D (D A D F# A D), capo on four, or open E (E B E G# B E) capo on two.
Both work well - for the sake of easiness, I'll say it's open D.

version 10
Tuning:D A D F# A D
Capo:no capo
NOTES:
Tuning is Open D (DADF#AD). In concert, JM capoes at the 5th fret. The
recording on "Clouds" sounds as if it's capoed at 4 but that might just be
how the recording came out. So, take your pick...
Chord names below are for Open D tuning with no capo. Capo 4 or 5 will mean
the chord names will change but the voicings are valid and are numbered
either from the nut (i.e. no capo) or the capo position. Timing is 4/4.
