Both Sides Now Acordes

This version will be playable in standard tuning for both piano and guitar. I've done my best to recreate
the subtle strings in the recording, which differs greatly from her 1969 original. Any Asus4/D can usually be
played as a Dsus2, but it sounds good voiced as an Asus4 over D in the way that the strings in the recording
ebb and swell underneath the vocals.
 
[Intro]
 
D5      D       Dsus4           D       x6
 
[Verse 1]
 
DM7      Dsus4    Asus4/D  D
Rows and flows of angel    hair
D/F#          A7sus4         A7
And ice cream castles in the air
G                   Em7
And feather canyons everywhere
G                          Asus4        A
I've looked at clouds that way
 
[Verse 2]
 
DM7     Dsus4     Asus4/D   D
But now they only block the sun
DM7                     Asus4   A7
They rain and they snow on everyone
G              Em7
So many things I would have done
G                    Asus4      A
But clouds got in my way
 
[Chorus]
 
D              Dsus4       Asus4/D        D
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
G/D            Asus4/D  G/D           DM7
From up and down and    still somehow
DM7/F#     G          A    Bm9
It's cloud illusions       I recall
Em7
I really don't know clouds-
Asus4           A
Dsus4           D
-at all
 
[Verse 3]
 
Dsus4     D    Asus4/D       D
Moons and Junes   and Ferris wheels
DM7     Dsus4     Asus4/D      D
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
DM7/F#  GM7    Em9
As      every  fairy tale comes real
GM7                      A7sus4   A
I've looked at love that way
 
[Verse 4]
 
Dsus4     D     Asus4/D         D
But now it's just another show
A/C#                            Bm11
And you leave 'em laughing      when you go
GM7              Em9
And if you care, don't let them know
GM7
Don't give yourself away
Asus4  A
 
[Chorus]
 
DM7            G/D       Asus4/D    G/D
I've looked at love from both sides now
DM7            G/D       DM7
From give and  take  and still somehow
     DM7/F#    GM7         A       Bm7
It's love's    illusions that I recall
Em7                     A7sus4
I really don't know love
Asus4             A            Dsus2
Really don't know love at all
 
[Instrumental Break]
 
Asus4/D                 Em7/D
DM7                     Gadd9/D
 
[Verse 5]
 
Dsus4      D        Asus4/D     D
Tears and fears and feeling proud
Asus4/D    G/D                 DM7
To say, "I love you" right out loud
DM7                            Dsus4
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
Em7/D                    A7sus4  A
I've looked at life that way
 
[Verse 6]
 
   D         Dsus4             D      Asus4/D
Oh but now old friends they're acting strange
DM7                                 Bm
And they shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed
GM7                        Em7
Well something's lost, but something's gained
GM7  Em7          A7sus4   A
In   living every day
 
[Chorus]
 
Dsus4          D         Asus4/D    D
I've looked at life from both sides now
G/D           Asus4/D    G/D        D
From win and  lose and   still some how
     F#m7    G     A     Bm9
It's life's  illusions I recall
Em7
I really don't know life-
G       A       Bm7
GM7/B
-at all
 
[Instrumental Break]
 
GM7     DM7     G/D     Asus4/D         G/D     D
 
[Chorus]
 
      DM7/F#   G        D/A       Bm11
It's- life's  illusions that I re-call
Em9
I really don't know life
GM7
I really don't know life-
    Em9
-at all
 
[Outro]
