Emily Jones sings this song in the movie CODA. Joni Mitchell herself called it an "incredible performance" — which says a lot about how authentically Emily captured the song's emotional core. Key: G — no capo.
Both Sides Now — Joni Mitchell
GRows and Amfloes of Cangel Ghair
GAnd Gmaj7ice cream Ccastles in Gthe air
GAnd Cfeather canyons Ameverywhere
Am7I've looked at clouds Dthat way
GBut now Amthey only Cblock Gthe sun
GThey rain Gmaj7and snow Con Geveryone
GSo many Cthings I would Amhave done
Am7But clouds got in Dmy way
GI've looked at clouds from Cboth sides Gnow
CFrom Gup and Cdown, and Gstill somehow
BmIt's clouds's Cillusions GI recall
CI really Ddon't D7know clouds Gat all
GMoons and AmJunes and Cferris Gwheels
GThe Gmaj7dizzy, dancing Cway Gyou feel
GAs Cevery fairy tale Amcomes real
Am7I've looked at love Dthat way
GBut now Amit's just Canother Gshow
GYou leave Gmaj7'em laughing Cwhen Gyou go
GAnd Cif you care don't Amlet them know
Am7Don't give yourself Daway
GI've looked at love from Cboth sides Gnow
CFrom Ggive and Ctake and Gstill somehow
BmIt's love's Cillusions GI recall
CI really Ddon't D7know love Gat all
GTears and Amfears and Cfeeling Gproud
GTo say, Gmaj7"I love you" Cright out Gloud
GDreams and Cschemes and Amcircus crowds
Am7I've looked at life Dthat way
GBut now old Amfriends are Cacting Gstrange
GThey shake Gmaj7their heads, they say CI've Gchanged
GWell Csomething's lost but Amsomething's gained
Am7In living Devery day
GI've looked at life from Cboth sides Gnow
CFrom Gwin and Close and Gstill somehow
BmIt's life's Cillusions GI recall
CI really Ddon't D7know life Gat all
GI've looked at life from Cboth sides Gnow
CFrom Gup and Cdown and Gstill somehow
BmIt's life's Cillusions GI recall
CI really Ddon't D7know life, Gat all
