[Intro]

     2x

[Verse]

           
Rows and flows

            
 of angel hair

              
 and ice cream

          
 castles in th

  
e air
             
And feather ca

            
nyons everywhe

             
re, I've looke

              
d at clouds th

   
at way.
            
But now they o

            
nly block the 

             
sun, they rain

          
 and snow on e

    
veryone.
             
So many things

            
 I would have 

             
done but cloud

             
s got in my wa

 
y.

I've looked at

oth sides now,
            
From up and do

             
wn, and still 

    
somehow
           
It's clouds il

       
lusions I reca

I really don't

[Verse]

           
Moons and June

As every fairy

And if you car

From give and

[Verse]

           
Tears and fear

proud to say "

          
I love you" ri

        
ght out loud,
             
Dreams and sch

But something'

** 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.
