Both Sides Now - Pete Seeger
Tuning: G, E A D G B E
Rows and floes
of angel hair
And ice cream
castles in the
air
And feather ca
nyons everywhe
re
I've looked at
clouds that w
ay
But now they o
nly block the
sun
They rain and
snow on everyo
ne
So many things
I would have
done
But clouds got
in my way
I've looked at
clouds from b
oth sides now
From up and do
wn, and still
somehow
It's cloud ill
usions I recal
l
I really don't
know clouds a
t all
Moons and June
s and ferris w
heels
The dizzy, dan
cing way you f
eel
As every fairy
tale comes re
al
I've looked at
love that way
But now it's j
ust another sh
ow
You leave 'em
laughing when
you go
And if you car
e don't let th
em know
Don't give you
rself away
I've looked at
love from bot
h sides now
From give and
take and still
somehow
It's love's il
lusions I reca
ll
I really don't
know love at
all
Tears and fear
s and feeling
proud
To say, "I lov
e you" right o
ut loud
Dreams and sch
emes and circu
s crowds
I've looked at
life that way
But now old fr
iends are acti
ng strange
They shake the
ir heads, they
say I've chan
ged
Well something
's lost but so
mething's gain
ed
In living ever
y day
I've looked at
life from bot
h sides now
From win and l
ose and still
somehow
It's life's il
lusions I reca
ll
I really don't
know life, at
all
Daughter, daug
hter, don't yo
u know
You're not the
first to feel
just so
Ah, let me say
before I go,
it's worth it
anyway
Someday we may
all be surpri
sed,
we'll wake and
open up our e
yes
And then we al
l will realise
the whole worl
d feels this w
ay
We've all been
living upside
down
And turned aro
und with love
unfound
Until we turn
and face the s
un
Yes, all of us
, every one
